| Opmerkingen |
Altenburg's 500,000 Mark notgeld belongs to the hyperinflation summer of 1923, when municipal authorities across Thuringia were forced to print emergency denominations simply to cover weekly wages — the Reichsbank's own supply consistently lagged behind the pace of price collapse. By the time notes at this face value were being issued, the purchasing power they represented was already eroding within days of printing.
Local production in Altenburg itself was common for the city's notgeld series, keeping turnaround tight. The 500,000 Mark denomination was already obsolete within weeks as the inflation accelerated toward the billion-mark issues of late summer.
