This is Notgeld issued by a newspaper — the Ost-Holsteinisches Tageblatt und Plöner Zeitung, a regional daily serving the Plön district of Holstein. Press-issued Notgeld was not common; most municipal emergency money came from town councils, savings banks, or local chambers of commerce. A newspaper taking on that role suggests either unusually close ties to local commerce or, more likely, a practical arrangement to facilitate small transactions at the point of sale when coin shortages made change impossible in 1921.
The DeNG reference places this within the vast German Notgeld cataloguing tradition. Two variants are recorded under this entry (suffixes .10 and .11), indicating at least minor differences between issues — possibly serial numbering, date, or a text change.
