| Comments |
Notgeld issued by the Amtshauptmannschaft Dresden-Neustadt falls into a peculiar administrative category — the Bezirksverband was a rural district authority, not a municipality, which makes its independent currency issuance a useful marker of just how far the Weimar-era Notgeld phenomenon penetrated Germany's governmental structure during the post-WWI coin shortage. Krey und Sommerlad, based in Niedersedlitz just southeast of Dresden, were a regional print house that handled several Saxon district issues during this period rather than one of the major specialist Notgeld printers.
