Kalksandstein-Werke Milbertshofen was a sand-lime brick manufacturer operating on the northern fringe of Munich. Like hundreds of German industrial firms during the hyperinflation years of the early 1920s, it issued its own small-denomination notgeld to cover the chronic shortage of fractional coinage — state mints simply could not keep pace with the velocity at which metal's nominal value was being overtaken by inflation.
The blue-grey cardboard construction is typical of factory-floor emergency scrip: cheap to produce, legible enough, never meant to outlast the crisis.
