| Comments |
Lieberose is a small market town in Brandenburg, and its municipal authority — the Magistrat — issued this note as part of the broader Notgeld wave that swept German localities during the postwar coin shortage. The Reichsbank had effectively stopped producing small-denomination coin by this point, leaving town councils, merchants' associations, and even individual businesses to fill the gap with emergency paper. Lieberose's series is among the more obscure provincial issues; surviving examples see little trade, and documentation in the major Notgeld catalogues is thin.
