Hachenburg is a small town in the Westerwald, and this 25 Pfennig note is a product of the notgeld wave that swept German municipalities between 1920 and 1922 — when the Reichsbank's inability to supply adequate small-denomination coinage forced hundreds of towns to print their own emergency currency. G. Hunckel of Bremen handled a considerable volume of municipal notgeld work during this period, producing notes for issuers well outside their immediate region.
Series-collectors should note that Hachenburg's notgeld issues are modestly documented but not extensively catalogued for varieties.
