1 Pfennig Leinenfabrik S. Fränkel

Leinenfabrik S. Fränkel was a linen manufacturing firm in Neustadt in Oberschlesien — now Prudnik, Poland — operating in a region whose postwar political status was deeply contested. This note was issued in 1920, precisely when the League of Nations-supervised plebiscite over Upper Silesia's fate was being organized, and currency chaos at the local level was rampant enough that private industrial firms routinely issued their own small-denomination Notgeld to keep payrolls and canteen transactions moving.

The Tieste reference places this firmly in the documented corpus of Upper Silesian emergency issues, though surviving examples from small linen works are considerably less common than those from municipal issuers in the same district.
