Düsseldorf was under French and Belgian military occupation during the Rhineland crisis when this note was issued, which complicated — and in some cases delayed — local emergency currency production. The city was among hundreds of German municipalities forced into notgeld issuance as Reichsbank currency became functionally worthless during the hyperinflation peak of 1923, when the mark's collapse accelerated so fast that denominations issued one week were already too small to be useful the next.
The watermarked paper is one of the few concessions to anti-counterfeiting at a moment when forgery was almost economically irrational — by the time a fake note circulated, its face value had often already been wiped out by inflation.
