Sternberg — now Šternberk in the Czech Republic — issued this small-denomination Notgeld during the acute coin shortage that struck Germany and German-administered territories in the early years of World War I. Municipal authorities across the German-speaking world were authorized to print their own emergency scrip when the Reichsbank could not supply sufficient coinage, and hundreds of towns did exactly that. Sternberg was one of the smaller issuers, which limits surviving quantities.
