Opmerkingen

Eschweiler and Stolberg were neighboring industrial towns in the Rhineland coalfield, and their joint issue of emergency currency — Notgeld — during the 1923 hyperinflation reflects both the administrative chaos of that period and the practical necessity of keeping local wages payable when Reichsbank notes simply could not reach circulation fast enough. A five-million-mark denomination that would have bought perhaps a loaf of bread in mid-1923 was worth almost nothing by November of the same year.

Joint municipal issues from two separate towns sharing a single printing run are uncommon in the Notgeld corpus, making the dual authority attribution more interesting than the denomination itself.
