| Anmerkungen |
Sankt Tönis, a small textile town in the Lower Rhine region, was one of hundreds of German municipalities forced to print their own emergency currency after the Reichsbank proved unable to maintain adequate small-denomination coinage in circulation following the war. The Gemeinderat — the town council — acted as issuer, a common but legally awkward arrangement that gave local officials direct control over a parallel monetary supply they had no professional infrastructure to manage.
Notgeld of this type was frequently over-issued relative to actual local need, with councils sometimes printing far beyond redemption capacity. Whether Sankt Tönis stayed within prudent limits is not well documented.
