| Comments |
Bad Liebenstein was a spa town in the Thuringian Forest, and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1921, it issued its own emergency small change — Kleingeldscheine — to compensate for the near-total disappearance of metal coinage as base metals were hoarded or diverted. J. Adolf Schwarz of Lindenberg im Allgäu was a regional printer who produced notgeld for numerous small Bavarian and Thuringian communities during this period, working at high volume and modest quality.
The DeNG reference suffix "1a-2/3" indicates this is one of at least two known varieties within the first type of this issue.
