Background & history
This 5 Reichsmark note belongs to the Wehrmacht occupation currency series issued 1942–1945 by the Reichsbank for use by German military forces in occupied territories during World War II. These notes circulated alongside regular Reichsmark currency but were primarily intended for military payment and occupation administration. The series features Gothic typography and Nazi emblems including the Reichsadler with swastika. All Reichsmark currency was demonetized with the 1948 currency reform that introduced the Deutsche Mark in West Germany and the East German Mark in the Soviet zone. Pick catalogue reference R140b indicates this specific variant with the 'H' prefix serial number.
