Borken's Magistrat turned to Carl Schleicher & Schüll in Düren — a firm better known for its filter paper production than its banknote work — for this series of Notgeld, a choice that reflects the chaotic improvisation of municipal emergency currency during and immediately after the First World War. Hundreds of German towns were doing the same, but the quality of the substrate varied enormously depending on which supplier a Magistrat could actually reach in wartime.
The 1918–1920 date range spans the armistice and the turbulent early Weimar transition, during which Notgeld continued circulating simply because Reichsbank coin remained too scarce to handle small transactions.
