| Comments |
Nörenberg — today Ińsko in northwestern Poland — was a small Pomeranian market town, and its municipal savings bank (Städtische Sparkasse) was among hundreds of German local institutions that issued emergency paper money during 1918 as coin shortages became acute in the final year of the war. These Kleingeldersatz notes were a stopgap, locally authorized and locally redeemable, intended to substitute for the small-denomination coins that had long since disappeared into hoarding or metal requisition.
Geiger 386 is the standard reference for this piece within the Notgeld corpus. The issuing institution ceased to function in any meaningful sense after German defeat and the postwar territorial reorganizations that followed.
