Tangermünde's municipal administration issued this Notgeld during the inflationary chaos of the early Weimar Republic, when the Reichsbank was unable to keep small-denomination coinage in circulation. Louis Koch in Halberstadt was a regional printer who handled a significant volume of local emergency currency from Saxony-Anhalt communities during this period — workmanlike output, not a prestige commission.
The DeNG reference covering multiple sub-varieties (1308.1-2/3) suggests at least minor printing or paper differences between runs, which is common for municipal issues where a second batch was ordered months after the first.
