August 1923', followed by the title 'Der Vorsitzende des Kreisausschusses' and a manuscript signature. The denomination '5 000 000 Mark' is repeated in a bottom panel framed by corner rosette ornaments. |

Monschau is a small market town in the Eifel hills near the Belgian border, and its district committee issued this note during the peak inflationary spiral of August–September 1923, when municipal and regional bodies across Germany were printing emergency currency — Notgeld — simply to meet weekly payrolls. Five million marks sounds extraordinary; by late 1923 it barely covered a loaf of bread.
The Merkelbach reference places this squarely in the documented local Notgeld series for the Aachen region. District-level issues like this one typically had very short circulation windows before denomination obsolescence forced replacement with even larger figures.
