25 Pfennig

Freiburg in Schlesien — not to be confused with the better-known Baden city — issued this Notgeld note during the peak years of Germany's small-change crisis, when coin hoarding and metal shortages had stripped low-denomination currency from everyday commerce. Municipal authorities across Silesia were effectively forced to print their own fractional money, and the Magistrat here was no exception.

Lower Silesian Notgeld from this period was predominantly short-lived; most series were recalled once Reichsbank policy and the broader inflation dynamic made small-denomination paper equally pointless by late 1922 and 1923.
