| Comments |
Naugard — now Nowogard in northwestern Poland — was a small Pomeranian market town whose municipal savings bank issued emergency currency during the notgeld period, when the postwar collapse of central monetary authority pushed hundreds of German localities into printing their own small-denomination notes. The Stadtsparkasse series was designed by W. H. Lippert and printed by Carl Flemming & T. C. Wiskott in Glogau, a firm with deep roots in commercial and cartographic printing in Silesia.
The DeNG reference suffix "1d-5/5" suggests this is the fifth listed variant within that subgroup — collectors should verify serial or overprint distinctions carefully before attributing condition premiums to rarity.
