| Comments |
The Landesbank der Rheinprovinz was a provincial public bank serving the Rhineland, and its emergency currency issues of 1923 fall squarely within the Notgeld phenomenon driven by Germany's hyperinflationary collapse — by mid-1923, denominations that would have seemed absurd a year earlier were already obsolete within weeks of printing. L. Schwann was a Düsseldorf commercial printer, not a security printing specialist, which is why the embossed dry stamp was the primary authentication measure — a low-tech solution to an impossible situation.
