Billet Germany 1000 mark 1922 B-

Make an offer

This 1000 Mark banknote was issued in 1922 in Germany, in an economic context marked by rampant hyperinflation that characterised the Weimar Republic in the early 1920s. This historical period led German monetary authorities to issue denominations of increasingly high values to meet the growing needs of fiduciary circulation.

This banknote belongs to the Mo-WD series, a classification that allows its sub-category to be precisely identified within the overall 1000 Mark issue of that year. One of its distinctive features is the presence of a serial number printed in red with an asterisk, a technical detail that differentiates it from other examples of the same issue. This asterisk associated with the red number constitutes an important variety element for collectors and paper numismatics specialists, as it may indicate a replacement issue or a specific printing carried out under particular conditions.

The Reichsbank, the issuing institution of this banknote, used differentiated numbering systems to ensure the control and tracking of banknotes in circulation. Colour variants and distinctive marks such as the asterisk allowed monetary authorities to distinguish different printings or replacement series within the same issue.

From a numismatic point of view, this banknote represents a direct testimony to one of the most documented monetary crises of the 20th century. Weimar Republic banknotes issued in 1922 are today sought-after collectibles, particularly when they feature special variants such as the red number with asterisk, which increases their relative rarity and interest for specialists in German interwar paper money.
