the period in which this banknote was issued.
The front side of the note shows a German mint master: Jörg Herz - after a painting from G. Penz.
This note had never been issued as 1000 Mark. It was overprinted with 1 Billion Mark - effectively adding 6 zeros to its denomination.
Please note that 1 billion in Germany is called 1 Milliarde (1,000,000,000). In Germany 1 Billion, Trillion, etc.
carries 3 more zeros than in the English world, i.e. 1 Billion (German) equals to 1000 billion (English), which is
1,000,000,000,000.
