| Comments |
Lindau and Weiler were neighboring Bavarian district communities that pooled resources to issue emergency currency together in 1918 — a joint municipal notgeld arrangement that was administratively unusual. Most wartime emergency issues came from a single issuing body; a co-issued local note like this reflects the particular financial pressures of small rural communities in the final year of the war.
Printed by J. Adolf Schwarz in nearby Lindenberg, the note includes a watermark — a security measure more commonly associated with state and bank issues than with small municipal notgeld of this type and period.
