Erkelenz is a small town in the Rhineland, and like hundreds of similar German administrative districts in 1921, its Kreisausschuß — the elected district committee — issued small-denomination Notgeld to address the chronic shortage of coins that plagued postwar Germany. The Reichsbank simply could not produce low-value coinage fast enough to meet demand, and local authorities filled the gap with emergency paper. This 10 Pfennig note is a product of that gap, nothing more and nothing less.
Rhineland Notgeld of this period was frequently printed by small regional shops, and attribution to a specific press is often impossible without examining the marginal typography closely.
