Hamm's 1920 Notgeld issue belongs to the first serious wave of municipal emergency money that flooded Germany as postwar coin shortages became unmanageable. The Reichsbank's inability to supply sufficient small-denomination coinage — partly a consequence of metal hoarding and wartime debasement — pushed hundreds of Westphalian towns to print their own. Hamm's Magistrat was one of the more administratively prompt, issuing these notes with a validity window that legally bound local merchants to accept them while giving the municipality a redemption deadline to limit liability.
At this size, paper survival is genuinely precarious. Notes handled daily in shops tended to split along fold lines within weeks.
