Herford's 1917 5 Pfennig Notgeld belongs to the first wave of municipal emergency money issued across Germany as coin hoarding stripped small denominations from circulation entirely. The Reichsbank's response was inadequate; cities simply printed their own. Herford was one of hundreds of Westphalian municipalities that did so, and these early wartime pieces are far less decorative than the collector-oriented Notgeld that flooded the market from 1919 onward — they were made to spend, not to save.
Paper Notgeld of this vintage often suffers from brittleness along fold lines, a known issue with the cheap wartime stock used by smaller issuers.
