| Comments |
Halberstadt's municipal emergency money came out of the same wartime coin shortage that drove hundreds of German towns to print their own small-denomination notes in 1918. The Magistrat issued these through local administrative authority rather than any banking institution — a distinction that mattered legally and would matter again during the postwar Weimar inflation debates over which issuers had acted within their mandate.
Faber of Magdeburg was a regional commercial printer, not a specialist currency house, which shows in the execution of many Notgeld series they handled.
