Borkum's 1920 Notgeld issues belong to the wave of municipal emergency money that flooded Germany following the post-WWI coin shortage — the Reichsbank's inability to keep small denomination coinage in circulation forced thousands of towns and communes to print their own. Borkum, a North Sea island off the East Frisian coast, was among the smaller issuers, and its notes circulated within a geographically contained economy almost entirely dependent on summer tourism and fishing.
The Gra#B78.4b suffix designation indicates a variant within the fourth subtype of the B78 series — likely a color or paper stock difference from its siblings. Island-issued Notgeld tends to survive in higher condition than mainland equivalents simply because fewer pieces were lost to the rough handling of industrial commerce.
