Sulzbach in der Oberpfalz issued this Kleingeldersatz note in 1917 as small-denomination coinage effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded by the public and pulled by the authorities for metal content as the war ground on. Municipal councils across Bavaria found themselves empowered by emergency decree to fill the gap, and Sulzbach's Stadtrat was among hundreds that took up that authority in 1917, the peak year for German municipal notgeld production.
At 46 × 27 mm, it is about as small as printed paper instruments get. Handling losses are consequently common on surviving examples.
