| Comments |
Broacker — today the Danish parish of Broager, on the peninsula south of Flensburg — was still German territory in 1918, transferred to Denmark only after the 1920 Schleswig plebiscite. This note belongs to the vast wave of municipal Kleingeldscheine issued across Germany during the First World War, when coin metal was commandeered for war production and small change all but vanished from circulation. Thousands of towns and parishes printed their own emergency fractions; Broacker's offering is among the smaller-run rural issues.
The 60 × 35 mm format is notably narrow even within this series — a practical consequence of paper rationing.
