| Additional information |
Glatz issued this iron notgeld piece during the plebiscite period when the town's fate — and that of much of Lower Silesia — was being decided by the Paris Peace Conference. The Allies ultimately exempted Glatz from the 1921 Silesian plebiscite altogether, awarding the county directly to Germany, which makes the civic anxiety embedded in these local emergency issues somewhat ironic in retrospect.
