Opmerkingen

Grube Golpa was a lignite mining operation in Saxony-Anhalt, and the Elektrowerke AG that issued this note was a power utility drawing on that coal supply. Corporate notgeld of this type — issued by an industrial employer rather than a municipality — circulated primarily as wage tokens or canteen currency, redeemable only within the company's own facilities. It kept cash within the enterprise during the chronic small-denomination shortages of 1917–1923.

Golpa-Nord eventually became one of the largest lignite-fired power stations in interwar Germany. The issuing entity outlasted the currency that bore its name by decades.
