| Opmerkingen |
The Handelskammer für die Provinz Birkenfeld operated under unusual political circumstances — Birkenfeld was a Prussian exclave, geographically separated from the rest of Prussia and surrounded by Oldenburg and smaller territories. During the 1923 hyperinflation, municipal and chamber-of-commerce Notgeld at this denomination level was emergency currency in the most literal sense, issued to cover wage payments as Reichsbank supply collapsed under the printing demands of the reparations crisis.
By mid-1923, five million marks was approximately a daily wage. Within weeks of most such issues, the face value was economically worthless.
