| Comments |
Flöha was a rural administrative district (Amtshauptmannschaft) in Saxony, and like hundreds of similar German localities in 1920, it issued its own Kleingeldersatz — substitute small change — to compensate for the chronic shortage of low-denomination coins that had plagued Germany since the war years. These district-level issues had no formal Reichsbank backing; their validity was strictly local and usually time-limited, redeemable only within the issuing jurisdiction.
The Flöha series is not among the more documented Saxon notgeld runs, which makes precise print-run figures difficult to establish.
