Idstein's 1917 Notgeld issue belongs to the first wave of municipal emergency currency that flooded Germany after the Reichsbank's metal coinage effectively disappeared from circulation. Small change vanished almost entirely by mid-1917 as hoarding and war requisitions stripped copper and nickel from everyday commerce. Towns and cities were left to print their own.
The watermark is notable for this class of issue — many municipal Notgeld of this period were printed on whatever paper stock the local printer had available, with no security features whatsoever. Its presence here suggests either pre-existing municipal printing contracts or a deliberate effort to discourage counterfeiting at the local level.
