| Opmerkingen |
Kiel's five trillion mark note dates from the absolute peak of Weimar hyperinflation — by November 1923, the Reichsbank's own presses could not keep pace with demand, forcing municipalities across Germany to issue emergency Notgeld denominated in figures that would have been unimaginable eighteen months earlier. Kiel, as a major naval port and administrative center of Schleswig-Holstein, was among hundreds of cities legally authorized to supplement official currency during this period.
H. O. Persiehl was a Hamburg commercial printer regularly contracted for northern German Notgeld runs — workmanlike production, not a prestige job. At these denominations, notes were often spent within hours of issue before prices rose again.
