Münchenbernsdorf is a small town in the Greiz district of Thuringia, and this 1920 Kleingeldschein is a product of the acute small-change shortage that gripped Germany after the First World War — silver had been hoarded or melted, and official coinage couldn't keep pace with demand. Thousands of German municipalities issued their own Notgeld during this period, typically printed by local jobbers. H. Matthes was a local printer, not a specialist banknote firm, which shows in the modest production values typical of small-town emergency currency from this phase.
