| Opmerkingen |
Otterndorf is a small town at the mouth of the Elbe in Lower Saxony, and this note is a product of the Kleingeldnot — the small-change shortage — that gripped Germany in the years immediately following World War One. Municipal and commercial bodies across the country issued their own Notgeld to fill the gap left by hoarded or scarce official coinage, and the Magistrat der Stadt Otterndorf was one of thousands of local authorities that did so in 1920.
Johann Hinrich Meyer was a well-established Hamburg printing house that handled a substantial volume of regional Notgeld production during this period. The short overland distance from Otterndorf to Hamburg made it a practical choice.
