The Palatinate's hyperinflation notgeld occupies a peculiar administrative niche — the Kreisgemeinde Pfalz was a Bavarian regional body issuing emergency currency for a district that, by 1923, was under French military occupation following the Treaty of Versailles. The occupied Rhineland's economic conditions were compounded by the Ruhr crisis and the collapse of the mark that same year, producing denominations that would have been unthinkable even eighteen months earlier.
Five million marks, printed locally in Speyer, was a mid-range denomination for the summer-autumn 1923 wave — within weeks of issue, it would have struggled to buy a loaf of bread.
