Obercunnersdorf is a village in Upper Lusatia, Saxony, and this 10 Pfennig note is a product of the Kleingeldersatz crisis that swept Germany after World War One — coins had effectively vanished from circulation, hoarded or melted, leaving small transactions impossible. Thousands of municipalities, cooperatives, and local institutions responded by printing their own emergency money, the Notgeld. The Giro-Kasse here was a local savings and transfer institution, not a bank in any formal sense.
Notes from Obercunnersdorf are among the more obscure rural Saxon issues, with negligible surviving quantities and no recorded overprint varieties.
