Eschweiler's 1918 emergency issue belongs to the first wave of German municipal Notgeld, produced as small-denomination coins vanished from circulation almost entirely — hoarded by the public and pulled into wartime metal requisitions simultaneously. The city, heavily dependent on its coal-mining and metalworking industries, had particular need for low-denomination transactional currency to keep daily commerce moving among a working-class population paid in small amounts.
Municipal Notgeld of this period was typically printed locally on whatever paper stock was available, quality varying considerably. Eschweiler's 1918 issues were short-lived by design — intended to circulate only until the Reichsbank could restore adequate coin supply, a restoration that, given what followed in 1919–1923, never really came.
