| Comments |
Rehna is a small market town in Mecklenburg, and like hundreds of similarly sized German municipalities, it issued its own emergency paper in the inflationary spiral of the early 1920s. This note belongs to the Kleingeldscheine wave — the small-denomination notgeld produced to address a genuine shortage of coins, as metal coinage was being hoarded or simply couldn't keep pace with collapsing purchasing power. The town council, Der Rat der Stadt Rehna, had the legal standing to issue it, though the practical life of such notes was short and redemption was erratic.
The DeNG reference suffix ".2-1/3" indicates a specific variant within the series — likely a printing difference or paper stock distinction catalogued by Grabowski.
