Minden's district committee — the Kreisausschuss — issued this note under the emergency currency provisions that proliferated across Germany from 1914 onward. By 1917, the small-denomination Kleingeld shortage had become acute enough that even district-level administrative bodies were authorizing their own Notgeld, filling the vacuum left by hoarded coins whose metal had been requisitioned for war production.
J. C. König & Ebhardt in Hannover handled an enormous volume of such commissions throughout the war years, making them one of the most prolific printers of Westphalian Notgeld. The firm's long commercial history made them a reliable choice for provincial authorities with no time for competitive tendering.
