Pöttmes is a small market town in Bavarian Swabia, and this 25 Pfennig Notgeld dates from the peak year of Germany's municipal emergency money phenomenon. The Reichsbank's chronic coin shortage — a direct consequence of wartime metal requisitions and postwar economic dislocation — forced thousands of municipalities, down to the most minor market towns, to print their own fractional notes. Pöttmes was no exception.
By 1921 many such issues were being produced speculatively for the collector trade rather than out of genuine necessity, a practice that inflated print runs and diluted the historical value of the series as a whole.
