200 Pfennig

Alsfeld's 1922 Pfennig-denomination notgeld belongs to the tail end of Germany's municipal emergency money wave, issued as small-change shortages persisted well into the inflation period. Alsfeld, a small Hessian market town, contracted Scharfes Druckereien in Wetzlar for the job — a printer that handled notgeld commissions for numerous smaller Hessian municipalities during this period rather than the better-known Leipzig or Berlin firms.

The DeNG reference suffix variants (.1–6/7) indicate multiple design or color variants within the series, a common Alsfeld notgeld characteristic that made these sets attractive to the contemporary collector market — itself a significant driver of notgeld overproduction by 1921–22.
