Hyper Inflation Token/medal - Germany 1923

I recently acquired this Medal/ token, that commemorates the 1923 hyper-inflation. The obverse has written "The tragedy of the German people" the reverse has a list of prices noted on December 1st, 1923. "1 pound bread= 260 million marks" etc. I have seen 3 versions of this medal, but my big, unanswered question is why someone minted these and when. My only guess, might be that someone was trying to stir up nationalistic feelings later on. But that is only a guess. Anyone have any info or thoughts on this?
Thanks
