This serie of banknotes (called Bayerische Banknote) belongs to the period in Bavaria and German history in which the country was plunged into a tremendous hyperinflation after the First World War, which had political consequences such as the proclamation of the Soviet Republic of Bavaria (1919) or the failed coup of the Putsch in Munich (1923) by Adolf Hitler. In these years the Constitution of the Free State of Bavaria was approved and the hegemonic party was the Bavarian Popular Party. There are banknotes of 100 mark, 1,000 mark and 5,000 mark.
