Opmerkingen

Libava — the German name for Liepāja — was under Russian imperial administration when this note was issued, but the city's commercial culture was heavily Baltic German, which likely explains the dual-language naming convention that persists even in catalog references. The Libava City Council issued emergency small-denomination notes in 1915 as conventional coinage vanished from circulation almost immediately after the outbreak of war, hoarded by a public with no confidence in what was coming next.

The P#NL designation means no established Pick listing exists, placing this squarely in the territory of local notgeld-adjacent emergency finance — documented primarily through surviving specimens rather than official records.
