25 Pfennig

Eggenfelden is a small market town in Lower Bavaria, and like hundreds of similar municipalities it turned to Notgeld during the early 1920s as the Reichsbank's small-denomination coinage effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply inadequate to the volume of transactions in an inflating economy. These locally issued emergency notes were authorized at the municipal level, with city councils acting as guarantor.

K. Olshausen-Schönberger was a Munich-based artist who produced designs for multiple Bavarian Notgeld issuers during this period. The reference suffix ".1-1/2" suggests two printing variants exist within this single type.
