Goldberg in Mecklenburg was a small market town of a few thousand residents, and like hundreds of similarly modest German municipalities in 1921, it issued its own emergency small change — Kleingeldscheine — to compensate for the chronic shortage of coins during the inflationary spiral that followed the First World War. The Paul Biedermann'sche Ratsbuchdruckerei was the town's own council print shop, meaning this note was produced entirely locally, without recourse to any of the major specialist printers handling larger Notgeld runs elsewhere in Germany.
The Grabowski reference G27.3a distinguishes this as one of several minor variants in the Goldberg series, differentiated by signature combinations or paper stock rather than denomination.
