Norden is a small coastal town in East Frisia, and this 25 Pfennig Notgeld piece is exactly the kind of purely local emergency scrip that proliferated across Germany in 1920 as small municipalities ran short of Reichsbank-issued small change during the postwar economic dislocation. S. F. Siebolts was a local printer — not a specialist security firm — which is characteristic of lower-denomination Notgeld from this period, where anti-counterfeiting sophistication was considered unnecessary given the negligible face value.
H. Dorner's involvement as designer and the signature of Dr. Walther on behalf of the Magistrat confirm this was formally authorized municipal issue, not an informal trader token.
