Meissen's 1920 Notgeld issue belongs to the first wave of municipal emergency currency that flooded Germany as the Reichsbank struggled to keep small denominations in circulation following the disruptions of war and the early Weimar inflation. Towns issued their own scrip out of practical necessity — change had simply vanished from everyday commerce.
Meissen's civic identity leans hard on its porcelain history, and the city's Notgeld series reflects that local pride in ways that made these notes collectible almost immediately upon issue. By 1921, a secondary market for decorative Notgeld was well established, and some municipalities were printing explicitly for collectors rather than commerce.
Whether this particular issue crossed the line into Serienscheine territory is worth checking against known print quantities.
