One of thousands of Notgeld issues produced during the hyperinflationary collapse of 1923, this 500,000 Mark note was authorized by the district committee of the Kreis Schleswig — a local administrative body with no standing monetary authority, issuing emergency currency purely because Reichsbank notes could not keep pace with price increases that were, by mid-1923, doubling within days. The printer L. Handorff of Kiel handled both design and production, a common economy of the period where regional print shops took on the whole commission.
Schleswig's position on the Danish border gives the district a particular political charge in this period — the 1920 plebiscite had only recently partitioned the region, and the northern zone had voted to join Denmark. Notes like this one circulated in a district still adjusting to a redrawn frontier.
