| Opmerkingen |
Villingen's 1918 Kleingeldscheine were a direct response to the wartime coin shortage that had stripped small-denomination metal from circulation across Germany — copper and nickel requisitioned, silver long gone. Municipal authorities throughout Baden and Württemberg printed their own emergency fractional currency rather than wait for a central solution that never came cleanly. Uhland'sche Buchdruckerei in Stuttgart handled a significant volume of these regional Notgeld contracts, and their output for smaller Swabian towns tends toward plain typography over the elaborate imagery that collectors associate with the 1920–1922 Notgeld wave.
This is the functional, unglamorous first wave — issued to make change, not to be saved.
