Danzig in 1918 was still a German city, and this municipal issue belongs to the enormous wave of Notgeld that flooded Germany during the war years as coins vanished from circulation almost entirely — hoarded, melted, or simply never minted in sufficient quantity to meet demand. Towns, cities, utility companies, and even individual businesses filled the vacuum themselves.
What distinguishes Danzig's wartime Notgeld from much of the provincial output is the issuing authority: the Stadtgemeinde carried genuine civic weight in a port city with complex loyalties that would, within a year of this note's printing, become violently contested when the Paris Peace Conference declared Danzig a Free City under League of Nations protection in 1919.
