| Comments |
The Sächsische Bank zu Dresden was one of four German private note-issuing banks still operating under imperial charter when hyperinflation collapsed the mark in 1923. This 50,000 Mark denomination emerged during the summer acceleration of that crisis — by the time most notes of this type reached the public, the face value was already losing purchasing power within hours of issue. The print run of over twelve million reflects the sheer velocity of production required just to keep pace with demand.
The Sächsische Bank lost its note-issuing privileges when the Rentenbank stabilization took effect in late 1923.
