| Opmerkingen |
Königshütte was one of the most industrially dense towns in Prussian Silesia — coal, zinc smelting, ironworks — and its wartime Notgeld reflects exactly that municipal pressure. By 1917, the German Reich's coinage had effectively disappeared from circulation, hoarded or melted, forcing thousands of municipalities to print their own small-denomination substitutes. J. P. Himmer in Augsburg handled an enormous volume of these commissions from across the Reich, making them one of the more prolific Notgeld printers of the period.
The seal impression is the sole security measure — modest even by the standards of the time.
