Heidelberg's 5 Mark Notgeld of 1918 belongs to the wave of municipal emergency currency that flooded Germany as the imperial economy buckled under four years of war. By late 1918, the Reichsbank could not keep small-denomination coinage in circulation — silver had been withdrawn, zinc and iron substitutes were hoarded or lost, and towns were left to fill the gap themselves. Hundreds of municipalities did exactly this, each commissioning local or regional printers to produce notes backed by nothing more than civic authority.
Osterrieth in Frankfurt was a capable commercial printer, not a security specialist — which shows in the relatively modest anti-counterfeiting measures typical of municipal issues from this period.
