Wörlitz is a small town in Saxony-Anhalt, best known for its UNESCO-listed Enlightenment garden complex — an incongruous setting for emergency paper money. This note belongs to the vast wave of municipal Kleingeldscheine issued across Germany in 1921–1922 as coin shortages, driven by postwar inflation and metal hoarding, forced even minor local authorities to print their own fractional currency.
The DeNG reference indicates multiple variants within this denomination, likely distinguished by serial number ranges, paper stock, or minor typographic differences — collectors frequently encounter all three without realizing they are separate catalog entries.
