| Opmerkingen |
Waldenburg was one of the more industrially significant towns in Silesian coal country, and its notgeld issues of 1920 reflect the chronic small-change shortage that paralyzed everyday commerce across Germany following the First World War. The municipal magistrate, like hundreds of other local authorities, stepped in where the Reichsbank could not — or would not — supply sufficient fractional currency to keep markets functioning.
Richard Blankenstein was a local Waldenburg printer, not a specialist security firm, which is worth noting when examining ink registration and paper consistency across surviving examples. These were utility items, produced fast and cheap.
