Issuing Authority & Date: The Reichsschuldenverwaltung (Imperial Debt Administration) issued the note, which is dated August 1, 1917, in Berlin.
Purpose: "Darlehnskassenscheine" means "loan receipts." These notes, issued between 1914 and 1922, were widely accepted as currency, though not officially legal tender. They were backed by loans on industrial and agricultural goods.
Design Features:
Obverse (Front): The obverse features a portrait of a young woman with a floral or foliage wreath. It also includes the denomination "Fünf Mark" (Five Marks), the date, issuing authority, and an anti-counterfeit warning in German.
Reverse (Back): The reverse is typically green, with the serial number in red and the denomination.
Historical Context: These banknotes were important to Germany's monetary system during World War I and the early Weimar Republic. They reflect the economic challenges of the period before the hyperinflation of 1923.
