| Anmerkungen |
Forst (Lausitz) was a significant textile manufacturing center in the Niederlausitz, and its Magistrat issued notgeld during the severe coin shortages of 1919–1921 that followed postwar demobilization and the disruption of normal Reichsbank supply chains. The Gra:F11.7b designation places this within a numbered sub-variety sequence, suggesting the Forst series was substantial enough to attract collector attention even at the time — the notgeld collector boom of 1920–1921 was real and commercially exploited by many issuing municipalities.
Whether this particular piece circulated genuinely or was printed primarily for the collector trade is the question that haunts most 1920 German municipal issues.
