| Opmerkingen |
The Reichsschuldenverwaltung was not a central bank but a debt management office — an unusual issuing authority for circulating currency. These 5 Mark notes of 1882 were Reichskassenscheine, Treasury notes backed by the imperial government rather than by a note-issuing bank, a distinction that mattered legally even if the public largely treated them as interchangeable with Reichsbank paper.
The series was printed at the Reichsdruckerei in Berlin, which had only recently been reorganized as a state printing enterprise following unification. Fine paper aging and ink oxidation are documented problems with surviving examples from this issue.
