| Opmerkingen |
Eschweiler and Stolberg, both industrial towns in the Rhineland coalfield, jointly issued this note during the hyperinflationary peak of late 1923, when municipal and commercial authorities across Germany were legally permitted to print emergency currency — Notgeld — to meet local payroll and retail demands. By the time denominations reached the hundreds of billions of Marks, the Reichsbank's own printing capacity was simply overwhelmed.
The joint issuance between two neighboring municipalities is uncommon and likely reflects shared administrative infrastructure rather than any formal monetary union. Merkelbach's catalog reference 3334 places it firmly within the documented Rhine-Aachen regional emergency issues.
