Stolp's municipal savings bank — Sparkasse der Stadt Stolp — issued this note during the acute small-change shortage that gripped German municipalities in the early 1920s inflation spiral. The 1.50 Mark denomination is itself a telling detail: fractional values like this appeared precisely because coins had effectively vanished from circulation, hoarded or melted as their metal value outpaced face value.
Carl Flemming & T. C. Wiskott in Glogau were a well-established Silesian printing house with deep roots in notgeld production during this period. Stolp itself was a Pomeranian administrative center — today Słupsk, Poland — and the savings bank had no authority beyond its own municipality.
