10 Pfennig Sparkasse

Dömitz is a small Elbe river town in Mecklenburg, and like hundreds of similarly sized German municipalities, its savings bank — the Sparkasse — issued its own emergency currency during the Kleingeldnot of 1920, when small-denomination coinage had essentially vanished from circulation. J. C. König & Ebhardt of Hannover was a well-established commercial printer with a long record of producing notgeld for municipalities across Lower Saxony and beyond; the print quality on their issues is generally more consistent than the smaller regional job printers used elsewhere.

The Grabowski reference D24.1a suggests at least one variety exists within this issue.
