Guhrau — now Góra in Lower Silesia — was a small Prussian market town that found itself, like hundreds of German municipalities, scrambling for small change in the opening weeks of the First World War. The sudden hoarding of metal coinage created an acute shortage that central banking institutions were too slow to address, and so local Magistrate offices were legally permitted to issue their own emergency paper money, known as Notgeld. Guhrau's series is among the more compact municipal issues of that first wave, printed on stiff cardboard stock rather than conventional banknote paper.

The .2f suffix in the DeNG reference indicates a recognized variety — most likely a printing or perforation distinction within the series.
