| Comments |
Bonn's civic emergency money — Notgeld issued jointly by the Stadt- und Landkreis Bonn and the neighbouring Siegkreis — reflects the administrative improvisation forced on German municipalities during the post-WWI currency chaos. The joint issuance across two distinct administrative districts is unusual; most Notgeld was issued by a single Gemeinde or Kreis acting alone.
M. Dumont Schauberg, the Cologne-based printer, was one of the more prolific producers of Rhineland Notgeld and had deep roots in regional publishing long before the inflation period pressed them into currency work.
