| Comments |
Neinstedt is a small village in the Harz foothills, and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1921, it issued its own emergency currency — Notgeld — to compensate for the chronic shortage of small-denomination coins that had been melting out of circulation since the war. Oscar Grupe was a local Quedlinburg printer, not a security press, which is typical of the smaller Notgeld issues where the commissioning authority was too minor to attract specialist firms.
The series from this issuer remains unlisted in the standard Grabowski-Mehl Notgeld catalogues, hence the NL designation.
