By late 1923, German municipal authorities were printing emergency currency — Notgeld — in denominations that would have been unthinkable eighteen months earlier. Leipzig's 500-Million-Mark note is a product of the hyperinflationary peak, when the Reichsbank's own supply chain could not keep pace with denomination demand and cities were authorized to issue their own supplementary paper. Poeschel & Trepte, a Leipzig-based fine-art printing house better known for book production, was pressed into banknote work precisely because dedicated security printers were overwhelmed.
At issue date, 500 million marks bought roughly a loaf of bread — if the price hadn't moved since morning.
