Exin — known today as Kcynia in north-central Poland — was a small Prussian market town with a mixed German and Polish population. This 1918 emergency note was issued by the Magistrat under the severe coin shortage that gripped German municipal administrations during the final year of the war, when hoarding had stripped small-denomination metal currency from everyday commerce almost entirely. Thousands of German towns issued similar Notgeld that year, but most Exin material is scarce today simply because the town was ceded to the newly reconstituted Polish Republic under the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, disrupting whatever local collecting or retention might otherwise have occurred.
