About this banknote
The Reichsbank, Germany's central bank, issued the 500,000 Mark banknote on May 1, 1923, during a period of severe hyperinflation. This issuance was part of the Reichsbank's efforts to address the rapidly depreciating value of the German Mark by introducing higher denomination notes.
The obverse of the note features dark green printing on a lilac and green underprint, with portraits of a man wearing a Jacobite cap at both the left and right sides. The reverse displays the denomination and an eagle emblem. This variant, designated as Pick 88a, includes serial numbers on both the front and back of the note.
