| Comments |
Langelohe is a small village in Schleswig-Holstein, and its decision to issue notgeld in 1922 places this squarely in Germany's second wave of emergency municipal coinage — driven not by the wartime metal shortages of 1914–18 but by the hyperinflationary collapse that made official small change economically worthless before it could even reach circulation. Konrad Hanf was a Hamburg commercial printer, not a specialist currency house, and that distinction often shows in the plainness of smaller commune issues from this period.
