| Opmerkingen |
Lübeck's municipal treasury issued this half-mark note in 1921 as part of the broader German Kleingeldersatz emergency — small-denomination paper filling the void left by hoarded coins during the postwar inflation spiral. Lübeck had particular motivation to maintain civic monetary credibility: as a Free Hanseatic City it operated with a distinct administrative identity separate from the surrounding Prussian state, and its Stadtkasse took an unusually direct role in local currency matters.
Printed by Joh. Moll K.G., a Lübeck commercial printer with no particular specialty in security printing, the note reflects the limited production standards common to municipal notgeld of this period. Designer Asmis Jessen is otherwise obscure in the notgeld literature.
