| Comments |
Dippoldiswalde is a small Saxon administrative district in the Erzgebirge foothills, and this 1918 Notgeld issue reflects exactly how fractured small-change supply had become in Germany's final war year — metal coinage had been systematically stripped for munitions, and central authorities could not fill the gap fast enough. The issuing body, the Bezirksverband der Königlichen Amtshauptmannschaft, was a district-level administrative association, not a municipality or savings bank, making this a relatively uncommon institutional class among Saxon emergency issues.
Kreye & Sommerlad in Niedersedlitz — a southern Dresden suburb — handled numerous regional Notgeld contracts during this period. Short print runs, local distribution only.
