Libava — today's Liepāja — issued emergency municipal currency in 1915 as the Russian Imperial government's supply of small coinage collapsed under wartime conditions. The Libau series was one of dozens of such notgeld-type instruments that appeared across the Baltic provinces that year, but Libava's civic administration moved early, and these notes circulated alongside Russian Imperial rubles in a port city that was simultaneously being prepared for German assault.
The city fell to German forces in May 1915. Notes issued that spring had a circulation window measured in weeks.
