Neustadt in Upper Silesia — now Prudnik, Poland — issued this note amid the plebiscite chaos of 1920–21, when the entire region was under Allied administration pending a League of Nations vote on whether to assign the territory to Germany or Poland. Municipal notgeld issued during this window carries an unusual ambiguity: the towns printing them did not know which country they would belong to within the year.
Carl Flemming & Wiskott in Glogau were among the most prolific notgeld printers in Silesia, handling dozens of municipal commissions simultaneously. The Upper Silesian plebiscite ultimately split the region in 1922, and Neustadt remained German until 1945.
