| Comments |
Niebüll is a small market town in Schleswig, a region that had just voted in February 1920 — under the post-WWI Versailles plebiscite — to remain with Germany rather than join Denmark. This note was issued into that politically raw atmosphere, months after the border question was formally settled. Municipal emergency money of this kind flooded northern Germany during 1919–1921 precisely because the Reichsbank couldn't keep small-denomination coinage in circulation fast enough to meet local demand.
Alex Bahnsen printing locally rather than contracting a specialist Notgeld printer like Giesecke & Devrient or Koenig & Bauer kept costs down but limited production quality. H. Jansen's design credit is unusually specific for a piece of provincial Kleingeldersatz.
