Grundhof is a village in Schleswig-Holstein, historically contested between Germany and Denmark — the 1920 Schleswig plebiscite had only just redrawn the border, and Grundhof remained German. This note was issued in 1921, squarely within the municipal Notgeld wave that followed the post-war coin shortage. Hundreds of German municipalities did the same, but small border-zone communities like Grundhof produced runs in genuinely tiny quantities, which is why the three-variant series documented under DeNG 0493.1-3 survives incompletely in most collections.
