25 Pfennig

Stöckheim is a small village in the Northeim district of Lower Saxony, and its 1922 Pfennig notgeld falls squarely within the massive wave of municipal small-change issues that flooded Germany as postwar inflation rapidly destroyed the utility of metal coinage. The Braunholz signature identifies the local official responsible for authorization — almost certainly the Bürgermeister or municipal treasurer — rather than any printing house credit.

The DeNG reference suffix range (.2-4/8) suggests multiple variants exist within this single denomination, likely differing in serial numbering, date placement, or minor typographic details — the kind of distinctions that make Northeim-area notgeld systematically collectible rather than merely representative.
