| Opmerkingen |
Keitum is a village on Sylt's quieter eastern shore, and its municipal notgeld reflects that remove from mainland financial infrastructure. When the postwar coin shortage made small-denomination transactions nearly impossible in 1921, individual Gemeinden across Germany began issuing their own emergency notes — Keitum among them. Friedrich Ball operated locally in Westerland and handled both engraving and printing on the island itself, an unusual degree of vertical integration for a notgeld issue of this scale.
The watermarked paper gives it a security specification that many comparable village issues skipped entirely.
