25 Pfennig Hunting Series - Issue 1

Bürgel notgeld from 1921 sits within one of the most prolific chapters of German municipal emergency currency — but the Hunting Series printed by Alfred Eisenach distinguishes itself through genuine local craft. Eisenach was a ceramics and fine arts press in a town famous throughout the Reich for its blue-glazed faience; Arno Grimm's designs were drawn for an audience that knew and valued that decorative tradition. These were not purely functional pieces.

The series was issued in multiple installments, and collector demand drove print runs well beyond circulation needs almost immediately — a pattern common to Thuringian notgeld by mid-1921.
