Schierke is a small resort village on the northern slope of the Brocken, the highest peak in the Harz mountains — better known in 1921 for hiking tourism than for monetary policy. This note is Notgeld, issued during the postwar small-change drought when municipal authorities across Germany stepped in to fill a coin gap the Reichsbank could not. Louis Koch of Halberstadt produced a substantial volume of Harz-region Notgeld during this period, supplying multiple small issuers from a single operation.
The DeNG reference suffix distinguishes printing variants — paper stock or color differences — within what is otherwise the same emission.
