5 000 000 Mark Baienfurt, Metall- und Eisengießerei Meteor

Baienfurt is a small industrial commune near Ravensburg in Württemberg, and Meteor's foundry notgeld was issued at a moment when the Reichsbank's own printing presses had fallen so far behind hyperinflation that private industrial employers were legally permitted — in fact, practically compelled — to issue their own emergency wages currency. A 5,000,000 Mark denomination that would have been worth roughly the price of a newspaper at the end of September 1923.

The 29 September printing date places this note just weeks before the Rentenmark stabilization effectively ended the notgeld period. Late-issue industrial pieces from small Württemberg firms were frequently printed in very short runs and redeemed quickly, which keeps survivor populations thin.
