Westerburg is a small town in the Westerwald, and this note belongs to the vast wave of municipal emergency currency — Notgeld — that flooded Germany between 1919 and 1922 as chronic coin shortages made small-denomination transactions nearly impossible. The Magistrat issued these locally rather than wait for a central solution that was slow in coming. Albert Fastenrath in Elberfeld was a regional commercial printer, not a specialist security firm, which is entirely typical of how municipalities solved the problem: quickly and practically, with whoever was available.
