Haselünne is a small market town in Lower Saxony, and its 1921 notgeld issue is precisely the kind of hyperinflation-era municipal scrip that proliferated across Germany when small-denomination Reichsmark coinage disappeared from circulation almost entirely — hoarded, melted, or simply insufficient to meet everyday transactional demand. Thousands of German towns printed their own emergency currency during this period, and the Stadt Haselünne turned to a local press rather than one of the specialist notgeld printers that handled bulk orders for larger municipalities.
Franz Lammersdorf printing locally means production quality and paper stock would have varied considerably from run to run.
