Anmerkungen

Lingen an der Ems was a small Westphalian market town, and its magistrate issued emergency paper — Notgeld — during the acute coin shortage that gripped Germany from 1916 onward, when the imperial government progressively withdrew copper and nickel coinage for war materials. Municipal authorities across the country filled the gap themselves, with no standardized format and wildly varying quality of issue.

The extreme elongation of this note is characteristic of certain lower Saxony municipal issues, where the narrow strip format was chosen partly to discourage counterfeiting by making home reproduction awkward.
