| Comments |
Goslar's 1918 Notgeld issue belongs to the first serious wave of municipal emergency money prompted by wartime coin hoarding — by mid-1918, small denomination coins had effectively vanished from everyday retail circulation across Germany, and towns were left to solve the problem themselves. The Magistrat's decision to print locally rather than contract an outside specialist was common for Harz-region municipalities of this scale.
The Gra:G33.2b designation signals a recognized variety within the Goslar 25 Pfennig series — paper type or overprint detail distinguishing it from sibling issues.
