Hachenburg is a small market town in the Westerwald, and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1921, it was forced into issuing its own emergency currency — Notgeld — because the Reich's official coinage had vanished from circulation almost entirely, hoarded or melted down against rampant inflation. G. Hunckel of Bremen handled a substantial volume of municipal Notgeld contracts during this period, supplying small towns across northwestern Germany that lacked any local printing capacity.
The 82 × 65 mm format is notably wider relative to its height than most Kleingeldscheine of this denomination, suggesting a deliberate local specification rather than a stock sheet size from Hunckel's press.
