| Comments |
Fürstenau is a small market town in the Osnabrück district, and its 1921 Notgeld issue is about as local as emergency currency gets — a municipality of a few thousand people authorizing its own paper against a backdrop of rampant postwar inflation and a chronic coin shortage that had been building since 1914. Gerhard Stalling in Oldenburg was among the more prolific printers of regional Notgeld, handling commissions from dozens of Lower Saxon municipalities during this period.
The DeNG reference indicates this note belongs to a set of four design variants — all of the same denomination, issued simultaneously.
