Lichtenfels is a small town on the Main in Upper Franconia, and its Stadtmagistrat — the municipal governing body — issued this 50 Pfennig note in 1918 as part of the broader German Kleingeldersatz system, a nationwide response to the severe coin shortage caused by metal requisitioning during the war. Municipal authorities across Germany were authorized to fill the gap; thousands of distinct local issues resulted.
Gebrüder Parcus in Munich were among the more prolific printers of Bavarian Notgeld, producing issues for numerous Upper Franconian and Bavarian municipalities during 1917–1918. Their output was reliable and consistent, which is precisely why so many of these small-town issues survive in reasonably sound condition today.
