Weilburg's 1920 Notgeld issue belongs to the massive wave of municipal emergency money that flooded Germany following the postwar coin shortage — by 1920, the Reichsbank had effectively abandoned small denomination coinage to local authorities, leaving towns like Weilburg to contract with regional printers and design their own scrip. Scharfes Druckereien in nearby Wetzlar handled a substantial volume of Hessian municipal Notgeld during this period, serving dozens of small towns across the region.
These issues were typically redeemable only within the issuing municipality, which kept them circulating locally rather than being exported and hoarded.
