| Opmerkingen |
Lötzen — now Giżycko in northeastern Poland — was a Masurian garrison town that found itself administratively and economically disrupted in 1920 by the plebiscite process that would determine whether the region joined Poland or remained German. Small-denomination Notgeld of this kind was issued partly to address coin shortages and partly as a civic assertion during a period when the town's national future was genuinely uncertain. The plebiscite, held July 11, 1920, returned an overwhelming vote to stay within Germany.
Heinz Schiestl was a Munich-based illustrator known for his work in German decorative and religious graphic arts — his involvement gives this note a more considered visual character than most municipal emergency issues of the period.
