| Comments |
Artern, a small salt-mining town in Thuringia, issued this note during the acute small-change famine of 1921, when hoarding of metal coinage had left everyday retail transactions nearly impossible across Germany. Stadtgemeinde-issued Kleingeldscheine of this type were technically illegal under Reichsbank regulations but were tolerated out of necessity — the alternative was commercial paralysis.
The DeNG 6#A26.3b designation indicates a specific paper variant within a broader Artern series, suggesting the municipality issued across multiple printings as demand persisted.
