Issued for the First Regional Gymnastics Festival held in Komotau — now Chomutov in the Czech Republic — this is a privately produced festival note (Notgeld), circulated among participants as small-denomination scrip during the event. The Verbands-Turnfest gatherings were organized through the German gymnastics association network, and by 1922 such festivals were still issuing their own temporary currency, a practice carried over from the wartime and immediate postwar Notgeld wave. Inflation in Czechoslovakia was not as catastrophic as in neighboring Germany and Austria that year, but event organizers routinely issued these pieces for controlled internal exchange rather than relying on coinage.
