| Comments |
Dramburg — today Drawsko Pomorskie in northwestern Poland — was a small Pomeranian market town, and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1920, it issued its own emergency small change to compensate for the chronic shortage of coin that persisted well after the Armistice. The Kreiskommunalkasse, the district communal treasury rather than a private bank or savings institution, was the issuing authority — a detail that reflects how deeply the Kleingeldnot had penetrated into local administrative machinery by this point.
The watermarked paper is notable given the modest denomination; most Notgeld of this value relied on plain stock.
