| Opmerkingen |
Witten's 50-million Mark notgeld was issued at the absolute peak of German hyperinflation — by late 1923, denominations that would have seemed absurd twelve months earlier were routine municipal emergency currency. The Stadtkasse, the city's own treasury office, issued directly rather than routing through a commercial bank, which was common practice for smaller Westphalian industrial towns scrambling to keep wages payable week to week.
Märkische Druckerei, a local press, printed this on very short turnaround. The practical consequence was that design quality was secondary to speed.
