Grevesmühlen is a small market town in Mecklenburg, and this note is a product of the Kleingeldschein emergency — the acute shortage of small-denomination coin that swept German municipalities during the First World War. Local councils, merchants, and even individual businesses were legally permitted to issue their own fractional paper to keep commerce moving. The Rat der Stadt Grevesmühlen was one of hundreds of civic bodies that took that option.
Richard Zscheked's credit as designer is a relative rarity in Kleingeldschein documentation — most municipal issues of this type went unattributed.
