| Comments |
Stollberg's Amtshauptmannschaft — a regional administrative district in Saxony — issued this Kleingeldersatz note during the acute coin shortage that followed Germany's wartime metal requisitions. Municipal and district-level emergency money of this type proliferated after 1916 when brass, nickel, and copper were diverted to military production, leaving everyday transactions impossible without improvised substitutes.
District-level issuers like Stollberg occupy an odd middle tier in German Notgeld taxonomy — above the purely local Gemeinde issues but lacking the design ambition that larger cities poured into their 1921–1922 Serienscheine. These are purely functional pieces.
