The central text panel states the city treasury's payment obligation, dated Mainz, 1. November 1918, with the title 'Der Oberbürgermeister' and a manuscript signature below. A vertical red serial number is printed in the right margin. |

Mainz issued its own emergency fractional currency in 1918 as the Imperial German economy buckled under wartime coin shortages — small denominations disappeared from circulation as the public hoarded metal, forcing municipalities across Germany to print their own Kleingeldersatz. The Stadt Mainz series is one of hundreds of such Notgeld issues from this period, though Mainz, as a major Rhine garrison city under martial administration for much of the war, had particular logistical pressure to maintain functional retail exchange.
Paper Notgeld at this size was inherently fragile and rarely survived daily use in good condition. Folds and edge wear are the norm, not the exception.
