Neustadt an der Orla was a small Thuringian town, and like hundreds of similar municipalities in 1921, its local newspaper publisher — the Neustädter Kreisbote — stepped in to produce emergency Notgeld when small-denomination coinage had effectively vanished from circulation. A newspaper house issuing currency is unusual enough; a 1.50 Mark denomination is more so, reflecting the chaotic, ad hoc arithmetic of the Notgeld period rather than any standardized system.
Designed and printed in Jena by Dietzel, the note belongs to a well-documented Thuringian regional group catalogued under DeNG 1/2#964.
