Leobschütz — now Głubczyce in southwestern Poland — issued this Notgeld through its Kreisstadt magistrate during the municipal emergency currency wave that swept German and Austrian towns between 1916 and the early 1920s. Flemming & Wiskott of Glogau were among the more prolific small-denomination printers of the period, handling municipal contracts across Silesia when the Reichsbank could no longer keep low-denomination coinage in practical circulation.
The town itself sits close to the Czech border in what was then contested Upper Silesia, a region subject to the 1921 plebiscite that ultimately split the area between Germany and Poland. Whether this note circulated before or during that political turbulence affects its story considerably.
