About this banknote
The Reichsbank issued this 1,000,000,000 Mark banknote in September 1923, overprinted on a 1,000 Mark note originally dated December 15, 1922. This overprinting was a response to the hyperinflation in Germany during that period, necessitating higher denominations to maintain economic transactions.
The front of the note features black print on a dark brown underprint, including the Reichsadler crest. A red overprint displays the new denomination diagonally across the note and vertically along the right side. The watermark in the right margin shows the original denomination "1000" in a braid design. This banknote was demonetized on July 5, 1925.
