10 Pfennig Greizer Bankverein

Greizer Bankverein was a cooperative credit institution — a Genossenschaftsbank — based in the small Thuringian town of Greiz, then capital of the Principality of Reuss. Like hundreds of similar local issuers across Germany, it entered the notgeld market in 1917 as coin shortages reached crisis level, small-denomination metal having been systematically withdrawn for war production. The cooperative's legal structure, "e.G.m.b.H." — eingetragene Genossenschaft mit beschränkter Haftpflicht — was common among provincial savings and credit bodies but relatively unusual among notgeld issuers, which more typically were municipalities or chambers of commerce.

Reuss itself ceased to exist as a sovereign entity in November 1918.
