| Comments |
Trebnitz — today Trzebnica in Lower Silesia — was a small Prussian market town, and the Kaufmännischer Verein and Vorschußverein (commercial association and advance credit cooperative) issuing this note were exactly the kind of local mutual-aid structures that proliferated in German small towns during the Notgeld period. A 1-Pfennig denomination is unusual even by Notgeld standards; most emergency small change began at 5 Pfennig. The green paper itself serves as the primary denomination marker rather than printed color on white stock.
