| Comments |
Suhl's identity as a gunmaking center stretches back to the sixteenth century, and the city leaned hard into that reputation when issuing its Notgeld series during the early 1920s inflation period. The Arms Industry Series was a deliberate piece of civic self-promotion as much as emergency currency, commissioned from local designer K. Mundt rather than farmed out to a commercial art house — an unusual choice that kept the imagery rooted in the town's own craft tradition.
Adolf Forker in Leipzig handled the presswork. Hertwig's single-signature authorization was the norm for Suhl municipal issues of this run.
