| Opmerkingen |
German municipal notgeld at the 50-million-mark level belongs squarely to the hyperinflation peak of late 1923, when local authorities — lacking any practical alternative — printed emergency denominations that would have seemed hallucinatory just months earlier. Beuchen's Gemeinde issued this note as purchasing power collapsed so rapidly that a note printed on Monday could be functionally worthless by Friday.
Gottlob Volkhardt'sche Druckerei was a regional commercial printer, not a specialist banknote firm, which is exactly what you'd expect at this level of municipal issue — professional engravers and security printing were luxuries no small Gemeinde could afford or wait for in August and September 1923.
