Patschkau — now Paczków, Poland — issued this note during the acute small-change shortage that gripped Germany in the early 1920s, when inflation was already eroding coin circulation but had not yet reached its catastrophic peak. Carl Flemming & T. C. Wiskott in Glogau were prolific printers of Notgeld for Silesian municipalities during this period, and their production quality was generally a cut above the purely emergency scrip churned out elsewhere.
The Upper Silesian plebiscite of March 1921 fell within months of this note's issue — the region's political future was still unresolved when Patschkau authorized it.
