Hameln issued this 25 Pfennig Notgeld in 1918 as metal coinage vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or requisitioned for the war effort. Municipal authorities across Germany were issuing their own emergency small change by this point, often with considerable local pride. Hameln's version is notable for being a locally produced piece credited to designer C. Enders, which is relatively uncommon documentation for Notgeld of this period.
The town's association with the Pied Piper legend made its wartime scrip a collector target almost immediately after issue.
