| Comments |
Bad Doberan's notgeld issues are among the more artistically deliberate of the early Weimar emergency currency run — Egon Tschirch, a Rostock-based painter and graphic artist with genuine regional standing, was commissioned rather than the job going to a generic commercial illustrator. H. G. Rahtgens of Lübeck handled the printing, a firm that took on considerable notgeld work from Mecklenburg municipalities during the 1920–1921 small-change crisis.
The DeNG reference places this within the first series for the city. Tschirch's involvement across multiple Mecklenburg notgeld commissions makes attribution here unambiguous.
