| Opmerkingen |
Schlesiengrube — today Kopalnia Śląsk in the Silesian coal basin — issued this Notgeld during the acute small-change shortage that gripped Germany from 1916 onward. Municipal and industrial communities throughout Upper Silesia printed their own fractional scrip when Reichsbank coinage all but vanished from circulation, hoarded by a population that understood what wartime metal requisitions meant.
The official stamp served as the primary authentication — without it, the note was simply printed paper. Many unstamped remainders from this period survived in bulk and have confused inventories ever since.
