| Comments |
Langensalza's 1920 notgeld series was part of the flood of municipal emergency currency issued across Germany as the Reichsbank's small-denomination coins effectively vanished from circulation during the postwar economic disruption. Stadt Langensalza — now Bad Langensalza in Thuringia — produced multiple denomination and design variants, which is why the Grabowski reference distinguishes this as L12.6b specifically. Collectors should note that the Bremer catalog and Grabowski assign overlapping but not always identical variety numbers to this series, and cross-referencing both is necessary to confirm a precise match.
