| Opmerkingen |
Goch is a small town in the Lower Rhine district, and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1921, it issued its own emergency currency — Notgeld — to address the chronic small-coin shortage that followed the First World War. The Reichsbank had effectively lost control of fractional coinage circulation, forcing local authorities, businesses, and institutions to fill the gap themselves.
Carl Schleicher & Schüll, best known as a paper manufacturer in Düren, produced notes for numerous Notgeld issuers across the Rhineland. The watermark security feature is a modest but deliberate touch for what was essentially temporary municipal scrip.
