| Comments |
Oschatz is a small Saxon administrative district — the Amtshauptmannschaft was a mid-level royal authority that survived nominally into the early Weimar period. Notes of this type were produced to address the acute small-denomination coin shortage of 1919, when hoarding and metal requisitions during the war had effectively stripped low-value coinage from everyday commerce. Krey und Sommerlad in Niedersedlitz was a minor regional printer serving exactly this market: local emergency Kleingeldersatz paper in tiny runs for district authorities that had no realistic access to the Reichsdruckerei.
The Grafisches variant designation (Gra#O25.3a) suggests at least minor printing differences exist within the series — likely ink color or paper stock variation.
