| Opmerkingen |
Kreissparkasse Herford was one of hundreds of German district savings banks that began issuing notgeld during the hyperinflation of 1923, as the Reichsbank's output simply could not keep pace with the collapsing purchasing power of the mark. By the time denominations in the tens of millions became necessary, the printing infrastructure had long since been parceled out to regional commercial printers — E. Gundlach in Bielefeld handled a significant share of Westphalian emergency currency during this period.
The embossed seal was the issuing authority's primary authentication device, standing in for the security printing that only central banks could realistically commission at speed.
