Johannisburg — now Pisz in northeastern Poland — was a small East Prussian town whose municipal treasury issued this Notgeld during the severe small-change famine that followed the First World War. The Reichsbank had effectively ceased supplying adequate coin to provincial towns by 1920, forcing thousands of German municipalities to print their own fractional notes, each valid only locally.
Carl Flemming & Wiskott in Glogau handled enormous volumes of Notgeld contracts for small issuers across Silesia and East Prussia during this period. The town ceased to exist under its German name after 1945.
