| Opmerkingen |
This is Eisenbahngeld — railway emergency money — issued by the Erfurt directorate of the Deutsche Reichsbahn during the hyperinflationary collapse of 1923, when the central government could no longer supply enough currency for basic wage payments. Regional railway administrations across Germany became de facto issuers of their own notgeld, each printing whatever denominations the pace of inflation demanded. By the time a 500-million Mark note was necessary for payroll, the denomination itself was obsolete within weeks.
R. Stenger was a local Erfurt printer, not a security printing house. The notes show it.
