Rauschen was a small Baltic resort town on the Samland coast, part of East Prussia, known more for its beach tourism than its financial infrastructure. Like hundreds of German municipalities in 1922, it issued its own emergency currency — Notgeld — as the Weimar-era inflation made centrally issued small denominations effectively useless in daily trade. M. Bauchwitz was a Stettin commercial printer that handled a substantial volume of regional Notgeld work during this period, and the designer credit to H. Schubert suggests local commission rather than a stock design.
Rauschen itself ceased to exist as a German town after 1945, absorbed into the Kaliningrad Oblast and renamed Svetlogorsk by Soviet authorities.
