Regensburg's wartime small-change shortage was acute enough that the city resorted to issuing 1 Pfennig paper notes — a denomination so low it had barely existed in coin form before the war made metal scarce. The Tieste reference places this in the Va series, indicating a later wave of Kleingeldersatz issues rather than the earliest emergency printings. Heinrich Schiele was a local commercial printer, not a specialist security firm, which is exactly the point: by this stage municipalities were commissioning whoever was available.
One-Pfennig Notgeld are among the more unusual survivors of the German emergency money period simply because most were discarded as worthless the moment the shortage passed.
