Glatz — known today as Kłodzko — was a Prussian-administered town in Lower Silesia, and this note is a product of the notgeld wave that swept Germany's smaller municipalities during and after the First World War, when small-denomination coinage effectively vanished from circulation. Local printing by L. Schirmer kept production entirely within the town itself, which was unusual even by notgeld standards — most comparable issues went to larger regional printers.
Schirmer is credited as both printer and engraver, a rare consolidation for a municipal emergency issue of this scale.
