| Opmerkingen |
Rheinhausen sits directly across the Rhine from Duisburg, and by mid-1923 the town's identity was almost entirely industrial — the Krupp steelworks dominated local employment, and the municipality's finances were inseparable from the fate of that operation. This 500,000 Mark note belongs to the Inflationsgeld wave that peaked as the Reichsmark lost all practical meaning, forcing even small municipalities to issue their own emergency denominations just to meet weekly wage obligations.
Local Notgeld at this face value had a lifespan measured in days before the denomination became insufficient. The Rentenmark reform of November 1923 rendered the entire series worthless almost immediately after issue.
