| Additional information |
Waldenburg's porcelain notgeld emerged from the same post-WWI emergency that drove dozens of Silesian municipalities to commission ceramic coinage from local manufacturers — in this region, that meant the established porcelain industry around Bunzlau and Waldenburg itself. The green colorway was a deliberate production variable, not an accident; the same issuing authority produced identical pieces in other colors, each distinguishable by dye lot rather than denomination.
Silesia's transfer between German and Polish administration following the 1921 plebiscite created additional urgency around local scrip issuance that spring.
