Rothenburg ob der Tauber's 1921 Notgeld issues belong to the second wave of German municipal emergency currency — no longer driven purely by coin shortages, but increasingly by the town's early recognition that collectors would pay a premium for attractively designed small-denomination paper. By 1921, the Notgeld market had become semi-commercial, with many municipalities printing deliberate series for philatelic sale rather than genuine monetary need.
The DeNG reference suffix ".1-3/3" indicates this is one of three design variants within the type, a common practice in Rothenburg's issues.
