| Opmerkingen |
The Landesbank der Rheinprovinz was one of dozens of regional German institutions that issued notgeld during the hyperinflation of 1923, when the Reichsbank could not print fast enough to keep pace with collapsing purchasing power. By the time five-million-mark denominations entered circulation that summer, they were already functionally inadequate within days of issue — the inflation rate was doubling prices faster than new notes could reach the public.
Printed locally in Düsseldorf, this issue avoided the logistical bottlenecks that plagued centrally printed emergency currency during that period. The Rhineland's partial occupation by French and Belgian forces since 1921 added a layer of administrative complexity to any financial operations conducted from the region.
