| Opmerkingen |
The Sächsische Bank zu Dresden was one of four German private note-issuing banks that survived into the Weimar period, and like all of them it was overwhelmed by the hyperinflation of 1923. This 5,000,000 Mark denomination was already obsolete within weeks of printing — the inflation rate that summer and autumn was rendering new denominations worthless faster than presses could run them.
Stengel & Co. was primarily a commercial art and postcard printer, not a specialist banknote firm. That the Sächsische Bank turned to them reflects the sheer desperation of the period — conventional security printers simply could not keep pace with demand.
