10 Pfennig

Dippoldiswalde is a small administrative district in the Erzgebirge foothills of Saxony, and this 10 Pfennig note is a product of the 1920 Kleingeldersatz crisis — the acute shortage of fractional coinage that followed Germany's wartime metal requisitioning. Bezirksverband-level emergency money at this denomination is among the smallest-format paper currency issued in the entire Notgeld period, and pieces from rural Saxon districts see far less collector attention than the elaborately illustrated Serienscheine from larger municipalities.

Survival rate for notes this small is poor. The physical format made them easy to lose or discard, and most district-level issuers in Saxony recalled and destroyed outstanding stocks once Reichsbank subsidiary coin supplies normalized in late 1921 and 1922.
