1 Pfennig orange waves underprint

Glogau's municipal notgeld program of 1919 leaned heavily on its local printer, Carl Flemming A.G., a firm better known for cartographic and geographic publishing than currency work. The wavy orange underprint on this 1 Pfennig piece was a straightforward anti-counterfeiting measure — at a denomination this low, the real threat was bulk forgery for accumulation rather than single-note fraud.

Silesian municipal notgeld from this period was often redeemed and destroyed within months of issue, once regional coin supplies stabilized. Glogau itself would remain a German city until 1945, when it was besieged, largely destroyed, and transferred to Poland as Głogów.
