Schafstädt is a small town in the Saale district of Saxony-Anhalt, and its 1920 notgeld issue belongs to the vast wave of municipal emergency currency produced across Germany as the Reichsbank struggled to keep small-denomination coins in circulation during the inflationary spiral following the First World War. Most of these municipal pieces were printed in bulk by regional printers and saw genuine transactional use rather than serving the collector market that later drove so much Weimar-era notgeld production.
Schafstädt's issues attract little specialist attention, which keeps prices modest but also means documentation is thin.
