Crimmitschau, a textile manufacturing town in Saxony, issued emergency currency during the hyperinflation peak of 1923 — a period when municipal and regional authorities across Germany were printing their own Notgeld simply to meet payroll and keep local commerce moving. The Reichsbank could not supply denominated currency fast enough to keep pace with the collapse, so bodies like the Stadtrat stepped in.
At 500,000 Mark, this note dates to the middle phase of the crisis, before denominations climbed into the billions. By November 1923, 500,000 Mark would not have bought a postage stamp.
