Nörenberg — now Ińsko in northwestern Poland — was a small Pomeranian market town with a population well under two thousand when this note was issued. The acute small-change shortage that swept Germany after World War One forced hundreds of municipalities to print their own emergency currency, Notgeld, and Nörenberg was no exception. R. Dulce of Glauchau was one of the minor commercial printers who picked up steady work supplying these runs to provincial administrations that lacked any connection to major printing houses.

Glauchau is in Saxony — roughly 600 kilometers from Nörenberg — a reminder that local issuing authority had nothing to do with local production.
