Thale am Harz is a small industrial town in the Harz mountains, best known for its ironworks. This 25 Pfennig Notgeld was issued in 1918 by the municipal council under the acute small-change shortage that gripped Germany as the war drained silver and copper from domestic circulation — Reichsbank coin simply stopped reaching ordinary transactions, and thousands of municipalities were left to print their own stop-gap paper.
The Gemeindevorstand issues from this period were strictly utilitarian emergency instruments, not the decorative collector-oriented Notgeld that flooded the market from 1920 onward. A 1918 municipal piece like this one was meant to be spent locally and worn out.
