Comments

Sendling was a working-class suburb absorbed into Munich in 1877, and by 1920 its consumer cooperative had resorted to issuing its own fractional scrip to cope with the acute small-change shortage that plagued Germany through the early Weimar inflation period. These Notgeld issues from cooperative societies are among the more obscure categories of the genre — most collectors focus on municipal or regional issues, leaving Konsum-Verein pieces underrepresented in major collections.

The Tieste Va classification places this firmly in the private commercial Notgeld sequence rather than the municipal series, a distinction that matters for provenance.
