Osterhofen is a small market town in Lower Bavaria, and its city council issued this Notgeld in 1917 as small-denomination coinage disappeared into wartime hoarding and metal requisitioning. The German imperial government's systematic withdrawal of silver and copper from circulation left municipalities scrambling to fill the gap at the retail level — paper Kleingeldscheine like this one were the unglamorous result.
1917 issues tend to predate the more elaborate printed Notgeld that flooded the market from 1918 onward. Earlier municipal pieces were purely functional, produced locally or regionally without artistic pretension.
