| Opmerkingen |
Verden an der Aller is a small cathedral town in Lower Saxony, and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1917, its Magistrat issued Kleingeldscheine to compensate for the near-total disappearance of metal coinage from circulation. Wartime hoarding and the requisitioning of copper, nickel, and zinc for munitions had stripped small change from everyday commerce far faster than the Reichsbank could address it. Municipal notgeld of this type was technically illegal under existing currency law but tolerated out of sheer necessity.
Verden's series is not among the more documented Lower Saxon issues, and surviving examples tend to show heavy handling — these were working notes in a market town, not collector pieces.
