| Comments |
Cranenburg — now Kranenburg, a small town on the Lower Rhine just inside the German border with the Netherlands — issued this note during the peak years of municipal emergency currency, when hundreds of German towns printed their own Notgeld to compensate for the chronic shortage of small-denomination coins. The 1.50 Mark denomination is slightly awkward, suggesting it was designed to fill a specific gap in local change-making rather than follow any standard series logic.
Gebrüder Parcus of Munich was among the more accomplished small-press printers of German Notgeld, handling commissions from municipalities across Bavaria and beyond. A. Reibmayr's designer credit is relatively uncommon to find acknowledged on notes of this type.
