Paderborn's 1921 Notgeld issue was one of thousands produced by German municipalities during the postwar small-change famine, when coins had effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply never reminted in sufficient quantity after the war. Gebrüder Parcus in Munich was among the most prolific printers of municipal emergency money in this period, handling commissions from towns across the Reich with reliable turnaround and consistent print quality.
The run of just over 12 million pieces is substantial for a Kleingeldschein, suggesting genuine circulating intent rather than the speculative collector editions that increasingly dominated Notgeld production by late 1921.
