Pößneck is a small textile-industry town in the Saale-Orla-Kreis, and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1922, its city treasury — the Stadthauptkasse — was forced to issue emergency notes as the Reichsbank failed to supply adequate small-denomination currency during the accelerating inflation. These Notgeld issues were authorized locally and backed by nothing more than the issuing municipality's word, which by mid-1922 was already a precarious guarantee.

The Müller catalog reference places this in the main 1922 Pößneck series. The "b" suffix indicates a distinct paper or print variant from the base type — worth checking the watermark or reverse printing against the "a" before cataloging.
