| Comments |
Bad Reinerz was a Silesian spa town whose notgeld issues were treated more as collectibles than emergency currency almost from the moment they appeared — the 1921 series was deliberately designed with collectors in mind, a practice that had become widespread enough by that point to draw sharp criticism from the Reichsbank. Carl Flemming & Wiskott in Glogau were among the more capable regional printers handling this flood of municipal paper, and the quality of their lithographic work shows it.
R. Jung's credit on a notgeld design is uncommon enough to be worth noting.
