Cammin in Pommern — now Kamień Pomorski in Poland — was a small cathedral town on the Baltic coast, and its municipal savings bank issued this Notgeld during the hyperinflationary spiral of 1922 when Reichsbank notes were being outpaced by price increases so rapidly that local authorities across Germany scrambled to print their own small-denomination emergency scrip. M. Bauchwitz of Stettin handled a significant volume of Pomeranian Notgeld work during this period, making regional attribution relatively straightforward when printer's imprint survives.
Töpper's design credit is unusual enough to be worth noting — most Bauchwitz-printed municipal issues from this run went uncredited.
