| Comments |
Emden's 1918 Kleingeldscheine series was issued to address the severe small-change shortage that crippled everyday retail transactions across Germany in the later war years — coin metal had been systematically redirected to munitions production, and the Reichsbank offered no practical relief to municipalities. Gebrüder Jänecke of Hannover, primarily a printing house with deep roots in commercial and packaging work, handled several municipal notgeld contracts during this period.
The E16.1a designation within the DeNG catalog indicates a specific paper or print variant within the broader Emden 10 Pfennig type — worth distinguishing from superficially similar issues in the same series.
