| Comments |
H. Heye Glasfabrik was a significant German glassworks operation in Schauenstein, Bavaria, and this 100 Mark piece is Notgeld — emergency money issued by a private industrial firm during the hyperinflationary spiral of 1922, when Reichsbank currency was depreciating faster than it could be printed and distributed. Firms paid wages with their own scrip to keep production running. Alsemann in Obernkirchen was a minor regional printer responsible for several such industrial issues in Lower Saxony and surrounding areas.
The Heye glassworks family would later become far better known through the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg connection, but in 1922 the factory's immediate problem was making payroll.
