CA$35.00

German Reichsbanknote originally issued as 1,000 Mark, later overprinted “Eine Milliarde Mark” during the height of Weimar Republic hyperinflation. Dated December 15, 1922, this dramatic transitional issue reflects the rapid collapse of Germany’s currency system, where denominations escalated from thousands to billions in a matter of months. Featuring a detailed engraved portrait on the obverse and bold red inflation overprint on both sides, this note is a powerful historical artifact from one of the most studied monetary crises in world history.
