| Opmerkingen |
Altona in 1921 was still a Prussian city independent of Hamburg — the two wouldn't be administratively merged until 1937 under Nazi reorganization. The municipal authority issued this note during the severe small-change shortage that followed Germany's postwar hyperinflationary spiral, when coins vanished from circulation almost entirely. Notgeld of this period was less emergency currency than a practical stopgap, printed by dozens of local printers across northern Germany on tight civic budgets.
H.W. Köbner & Co. handled a substantial volume of municipal notgeld commissions during this period, producing competent if unspectacular work.
