| Comments |
Bodenbach and Tetschen were twin towns straddling the Elbe in the Sudetenland, and in early 1919 they were in political limbo — the new Czechoslovak state had absorbed the region by force in November 1918, overriding the short-lived German-Austrian province of Deutschböhmen. This municipal note was issued during that unsettled transitional period, when local authorities were still asserting administrative autonomy and the new Prague government had not yet established reliable small-denomination currency in the borderlands.
The joint issuing authority — both the Stadtgemeinde and the autonomous district — is itself unusual and reflects the contested, layered governance of the region at that moment.
