| Comments |
The Amtshauptmannschaft Bautzen was a Saxon administrative district, and like hundreds of similar bodies across Germany in 1923, it issued its own emergency currency — Notgeld — as the Reichsbank's supply of usable denominations collapsed under hyperinflation. By the time notes at this face value were being printed, the 500,000 Mark figure was already losing practical meaning within weeks of issue; some Saxon district notes were rendered obsolete before distribution networks could move them.
Locally printed Notgeld at this scale tends to show considerable variation in ink quality and registration between surviving examples.
