Lorch am Rhein — a small wine-producing town in the Rheingau with a population that barely cracked two thousand in 1920 — issued this Notgeld at the height of Germany's small-change crisis, when the hoarding of coins left ordinary commerce paralyzed. Hundreds of German municipalities printed their own fractional notes during 1919–1922, but the use of a watermarked substrate here is less common at this denomination and scale; most towns of Lorch's size settled for plain stock.
The DeNG reference places this as one of two known variants in the series.
