Gangelt is a small market town in the Selfkant district, the westernmost point of Germany, and one of hundreds of municipalities that issued notgeld during the inflationary spiral of the early Weimar years. These 1921 issues belong to the second wave of local emergency money — by this point no longer a genuine response to coin shortages but increasingly a semi-commercial enterprise, with many municipalities printing attractive series specifically for collector sale.
Whether Gangelt's issue falls into the cynical collector-bait category or was genuinely intended for local circulation is worth checking against surviving redemption records.
