Sankt Goar's 1920 Kleingeldscheine were issued to address the severe small-change shortage that paralyzed retail trade across Germany in the early Weimar period. Municipal and civic bodies throughout the Rhineland issued their own emergency fractional notes when the central government could not supply adequate coinage — Sankt Goar, a small town on the Rhine, was one of hundreds that stepped into that gap. The specific Notgeld series of this type is catalogued under DeNG 5/6, indicating it belongs to the standardized German Notgeld reference framework compiled by Dießner and Grabowski.
Paper composition places this firmly in the disposable, short-term category of emergency currency rather than the collectible linen or silk issues some municipalities produced simultaneously for the philatelic market.
