Jelgava's city administration issued this note under German military occupation, which had taken the city — then still widely called Mitau — in late July 1915 as Russian forces withdrew. The bilingual issuing authority name, rendered in both Latvian and German, reflects the administrative reality of a civilian municipal body operating under occupation but retaining local bureaucratic identity. These Latvian city emergency notes of 1915 are among the earliest paper instruments to use Latvian-language text in an official monetary capacity.
Notgeld of this type circulated because small-denomination coinage had vanished from the market almost immediately after war broke out.
