The Ordensrat im Verband nationalgesinnter Soldaten was one of hundreds of right-wing veterans' organizations issuing notgeld in the hyperinflationary spiral of 1922 — a practice that was technically illegal under Reichsbank regulations but rarely prosecuted at the local level. This particular issuer, a council of decorated soldiers styling itself along nationalist lines, used the emergency currency mechanism less as a monetary solution than as a vehicle for organizational visibility.

Pfennig-denomination notgeld by 1922 was already being overtaken by events — within months, the inflation had rendered such fractional values meaningless, which is why most surviving examples show little sign of handling.
