| Comments |
The Amtshauptmannschaft Meißen was a rural administrative district in Saxony, and like dozens of similar Bezirksverbände across Germany in 1923, it was forced into issuing its own emergency currency when the Reichsbank's supply of printed notes simply could not keep pace with hyperinflation. By the time 50-million-Mark denominations were being struck at the district level, the purchasing power of each note was already eroding within days of issue — sometimes hours.
The watermarked paper suggests procurement from a commercial stationery supplier rather than a dedicated security printer, a common shortcut under the circumstances.
