Stolp — now Słupsk in northwestern Poland — was a mid-sized Pomeranian town whose municipal savings bank issued this Notgeld during the inflationary spiral of 1922, when the Reichsbank simply could not supply enough small-denomination currency to keep local commerce moving. Carl Flemming & Wiskott in Glogau were among the more prolific provincial Notgeld printers of the period, handling contracts for dozens of municipalities across Silesia and Pomerania simultaneously.
W. H. Lippert's design credit is worth noting — named designers on Notgeld are less common than the volumes of material might suggest, since most commissions went out as functional jobs with no artistic attribution.
