| Comments |
Rochlitz is a small Saxon administrative district — the Amtshauptmannschaft was the Royal Saxon provincial subdivision — and like hundreds of comparable bodies across Germany, it issued its own emergency small-change notes when coin metal was requisitioned for war production from 1916 onward. This is Kleingeldscheine at its most local: notes authorized not by a bank or a city treasury, but by a rural administrative office with no prior experience in currency issuance.
The Grabowski reference R31.6 suggests this is one of several distinct types within the Rochlitz series, differentiated by serial format, paper, or overprint — typical of districts that issued in multiple batches as the shortage dragged on past the armistice into 1919.
