Reinerz was a spa town in the Glatz region of Lower Silesia — known for its carbon dioxide springs and a steady flow of health tourists who, in practice, created a functioning micro-economy largely detached from the wider inflationary chaos beginning to grip Germany in 1921. Local Notgeld issues like this one were partly practical and partly promotional: municipalities understood that collectors across the country would absorb them without ever spending them, effectively generating interest-free municipal revenue.
Flemming-Wiskott in Glogau printed a substantial volume of Silesian Notgeld during this period and handled both the lithography and design execution to a consistently high standard. A. Jung's name appearing as designer is relatively uncommon in the Flemming-Wiskott output for this region.
