Sankt Andreasberg is a small Harz mining town that issued its own emergency currency — Notgeld — during the inflationary chaos of the early Weimar years. The Kurverwaltung, the local spa administration, was an unusual body to be backing circulating currency; most German resort towns of the period used their Stadtverwaltung or a local savings bank as issuer. That the spa authority here took responsibility suggests the municipal administration was either overwhelmed or deliberately delegated the task to an entity with reliable local credibility.
The 1921 dating places this in the transitional period between the small-change Notgeld of 1919–20 and the hyperinflation emergency issues that followed in 1922–23.
