| Anmerkungen |
Krappitz (now Krapkowice, Poland) issued this Notgeld during the acute coin shortage that gripped Germany from around 1916 onward, when the wartime economy drove metal of any practical denomination out of circulation almost entirely. Municipal Notgeld of this kind had no formal central authorization — local magistrates simply printed what they needed and hoped the community would honor it.
The stamp security feature is typical of smaller Silesian issuers who lacked access to more sophisticated printing infrastructure. A hand-applied or pre-printed official stamp was the cheapest available fraud deterrent, and for hyperlocal scrip it was generally sufficient.
