| Comments |
Dassow is a small town on the Baltic coast of Mecklenburg, and this note is a product of the 1921–1922 Kleingeldscheine wave — the second major phase of German municipal emergency money, driven not by wartime disruption but by a chronic shortage of fractional coinage as inflation accelerated and people hoarded metal. Hundreds of German municipalities issued these low-denomination slips simultaneously, and the printing quality and paper stock vary considerably across the series.
The DeNG 2#260.1 reference places this among three recorded variants for Dassow, differentiated typically by serial number range or minor typographic differences rather than substantive design changes.
