| Comments |
Grammby is a small municipality in the Schleswig region — territory that had just been partitioned between Germany and Denmark following the 1920 plebiscites mandated by the Treaty of Versailles. The timing of this note is not incidental. Local Notgeld issues from this zone in 1920 often reflect acute administrative and monetary uncertainty during the transition period, when it was unclear which currency regime would ultimately govern daily commerce.
