| Opmerkingen |
Süsel is a small village in Holstein, and the fact that its parish church council — not the municipality, not a savings bank, but the Gemeindekircherat — was issuing emergency small change in 1920 says something direct about how thoroughly the postwar coin shortage had hollowed out everyday commerce. Church bodies were not typical notgeld issuers; most were municipalities, districts, or local chambers of trade.
H. G. Rahtgens of Lübeck produced a large volume of regional notgeld during this period, running off small denominations for dozens of Holstein communities. Designer H. Blumk's credit appearing on a note of this size and origin is mildly unusual — most Rahtgens pieces of this type were anonymous work.
