Treysa is a small town in Hesse, and like hundreds of German municipalities it was forced to print its own emergency currency during the Kleingeldmangel — the small change shortage — that gripped Germany from 1916 onward as metal coinage disappeared from circulation. The Scharfes printing house in Wetzlar supplied notgeld to numerous Hessian communities, and the shared printer explains the family resemblance often noted between issues from this region.
The DeNG reference suffix variants (1a through 3/3) reflect paper stock and overprint differences rather than distinct print runs, a distinction that matters to specialists assembling complete type sets.
