The P#38 10 Mark series ran through four signature combinations across a decade, tracking the revolving door of Bundesbank presidency with unusual frequency. Helmut Schlesinger appears in two consecutive pairings — first as deputy under Pöhl, then as president alongside Tietmeyer — making him the only figure whose name runs through back-to-back issues in this series.
These notes were withdrawn from circulation on 31 December 2001 when Germany adopted the euro, after which the Bundesbank offered unlimited exchange at a fixed rate of 1.95583 marks per euro — a guarantee with no expiry date that remains technically valid today.
