| Opmerkingen |
Schierke is a small resort village in the Harz Mountains, and its notgeld issues reflect the peculiar economics of that environment — tourist traffic kept demand for low-denomination scrip genuinely high during the inflationary chaos of 1921, making circulation wear on these notes more common than on comparable municipal issues from industrial towns where visitors weren't cycling through the local economy.
Louis Koch of Halberstadt was a regional printer who produced notgeld for several Harz-area municipalities during this period. Nothing extraordinary about the production relationship, but Koch's output for this district tends toward better registration and sharper impression than many comparable small-town commissions of the same year.
