Kemberg is a small town in what was then the Prussian province of Saxony, and this note is a product of the acute small-change shortage that gripped Germany from 1916 onward — Reichsbank coin had all but vanished from circulation as base metals were requisitioned for the war economy. Municipalities across Germany responded by issuing their own fractional emergency notes, known as Notgeld, with minimal central oversight.
Krey u. Sommerlad operated out of Niedersedlitz, a Dresden suburb with a concentration of small commercial printers who took on considerable Notgeld work during 1917–1918. This note is a workaday piece from that production wave — functional, locally authorized, and almost certainly redeemed quickly once the municipal series was recalled.
