25 Pfennig Sanitätshundeverein

The Sanitätshundeverein München — the Munich Sanitary Dog Association — trained search-and-rescue dogs for battlefield and disaster use, a practice that expanded rapidly after the First World War demonstrated how effectively dogs could locate wounded men in the field. This note was issued not by a bank or municipal authority but by the Wismar chapter of that association, almost certainly as Notgeld to raise operating funds during the acute coin shortage of the early Weimar period. Private organizations, sports clubs, and charitable societies all issued small-denomination emergency paper in 1921, and the practice was entirely legal.
