| Comments |
Cammin in Pommern was a small cathedral town on the Cammin Lagoon, and its municipal savings institution — the Städtische Sparkasse, later reorganized as the Stadtgirokasse — issued emergency money during the acute coin shortage of the early Weimar inflation period. This 2 Mark note was printed locally by M. Bauchwitz of Stettin, a commercial printer responsible for a number of Pomeranian Notgeld issues during the same window.
The designer credit to F.W. Töpper is unusual enough to preserve — most Notgeld of this type went uncredited entirely.
