| Opmerkingen |
Leipzig's municipal authority issued this 500-billion-Mark note during the terminal phase of the Weimar hyperinflation, when the Reichsbank could not print fast enough to meet demand and local governments across Germany were authorized to issue their own emergency currency — Notgeld — to keep commerce functioning at all. By October and November 1923, denominations that would have been unthinkable eighteen months earlier were routine.
Poeschel & Trepte were primarily a respected Leipzig fine-press printer, not a banknote specialist. The firm's involvement reflects how completely the crisis had dissolved the usual distinctions between security printing and commercial work.
