Tondern — known today as Tønder in southern Denmark — issued this note in the immediate aftermath of the 1920 Schleswig plebiscite, which returned the northern zone to Danish sovereignty. The town itself fell just inside the Danish border, meaning notgeld issued by the Magistrat in early 1920 appeared at exactly the moment local German municipal authority was being wound down and transferred. Whether this note circulated before or after the formal handover on 15 June 1920 is a question the date alone cannot settle.
The single signature, Paulsen, is an unresolved attribution — common enough in Schleswig borderland notgeld, where clerical and mayoral signatories were not always formally documented.
