Hohenmölsen, a small Saxony-Anhalt town sitting atop one of Germany's more productive lignite fields, issued this Notgeld during the acute coin shortage that followed the First World War. The Reichsbank was unable to keep low-denomination coins in circulation — metal was still being diverted toward industrial recovery — so thousands of German municipalities printed their own small-change notes. Hohenmölsen was one of them.
Gerth & Oppenrieder in Gera handled a substantial volume of municipal Notgeld commissions during this period, and their output is generally competent lithographic work rather than anything artistically ambitious.
