Wesenberg notgeld from the early 1920s inflation period, issued by the local town council — the Rat der Stadt — as small-denomination emergency money when coins vanished from circulation entirely. These municipal scrip issues were produced in enormous variety across Germany and German-speaking territories during this period, often printed by local firms on whatever stock was available, which accounts for the fragility common to surviving examples of this type.
The Halling signature indicates a signatory official rather than a printer. Wesenberg pieces at this denomination tend to show ink strike inconsistencies across the series.
