| Comments |
Tuchel — now Tuchola in northern Poland — was still a German administrative town in 1919, caught in the uncertain interval between the armistice and the formal border decisions of the Treaty of Versailles. The town's magistrate issued this Notgeld because the postwar coin shortage made small-denomination transactions nearly impossible; municipal and private issuers across Germany flooded that vacuum with emergency paper. Tuchola would pass to the newly reconstituted Polish state later that same year under the terms applied to West Prussia, making this note an artifact of the very last months of German civil administration in the region.
