| Comments |
Trittau is a small market town in Holstein, east of Hamburg, and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1921–1923 it was forced to issue its own small-denomination emergency money — Kleingeldscheine — simply because Reichsbank coinage had effectively vanished from circulation, hoarded or melted as inflation eroded its intrinsic value. The Hamburg region produced a particularly dense concentration of such issues, many commissioned from local printers with no meaningful security printing infrastructure.
The DeNG reference suffix .2-3 indicates this is one of at least two known variants within the type — likely differing in serial number range, signature, or minor typographic detail.
