Arrow German Post WWI Hyper Inflation Note

You wont belive how i got this note. I went to a big weekend Flea market one weekend and bought a box of old German books. The guy who sold them to me said he got them from an estate sale and the guy who died was from Germany and he emigrated here sometime in the 1920's. The books were childrens school books from what i could tell, an atlas, a grammar book, a math book, a science book, and a German American phrase book, all published in the late 1800's to early 1900's. The note was folded up and used as a book marker in the phrase book, lol. I paid the guy 10 bucks for the box of books, my friends said i was ripped off, i say i got the deal of a life time to have a nice piece of history like this note. I belive, if im not mistaken that that picture on the front is Martin Luther. On the front of the note i can make out with my little bit of German understanding that the note was issued in Berlin on November 19th, 1922. I also belive it was one of the hyper inflation notes seeing that the value on it is 50,000 Marks.
