Depression-era municipal scrip issued by Lincoln Park — a small industrial suburb just south of Detroit — at the absolute nadir of Michigan's banking crisis. Wayne County had been ground zero for the national bank holiday declared by Roosevelt in March 1933, and many communities in the county were still operating without functional banking infrastructure well into 1934. Scrip like this filled the gap, circulating locally as wages and payment for municipal services when hard currency simply wasn't moving.

Lincoln Park's scrip issues from this period are among the lesser-documented Wayne County municipals — the city's records from the emergency period are incomplete, and surviving examples tend to surface without provenance.
