Rees, a small Rhine town in the lower Rhineland, issued this Notgeld note during the period of acute small-coin shortage that followed the First World War. Schleicher & Schüll, better known as a high-quality paper manufacturer and filter producer based in Düren, took on considerable municipal printing work during this period — their involvement speaks to how widely the Notgeld boom drew in firms outside the conventional banknote trade.
The 1920 Rees issues are among the more modestly produced examples from the Rhineland municipalities, without the elaborate artistic pretension of the collectible "Serienscheine" that many towns were simultaneously exploiting for revenue.
