| Anmerkungen |
Gleiwitz (now Gliwice, Poland) was one of dozens of German municipalities that issued emergency paper money in the late summer of 1914 when the mobilization for war caused an almost immediate hoarding of metal coinage. These Stadtkasse notes — backed by nothing more than the issuing town's credit — flooded local commerce within weeks of the August mobilization decree, filling the vacuum left by vanishing Reichsmünzen.
The embossed municipal seal was the primary authentication device, which made these notes trivially easy to counterfeit by anyone with access to a press — a vulnerability well understood at the time and essentially ignored out of necessity.
