| Comments |
Recklinghausen's 1921 notgeld issue belongs to the second wave of German municipal emergency currency — by this point the practice was well-established enough that many cities commissioned genuinely artistic designs rather than functional stopgaps. The designer credited here as Rotburg produced work specific to this series; the single signatory Hamm reflects the streamlined authorization typical of Ruhrgebiet municipal offices during the inflation period, when the administrative burden of serial signing had already become unworkable.
The DeNG reference 1103.1a places this within a numbered subseries, suggesting multiple design variants were issued under the same municipal authority — collectors should note the "-2/7" suffix, which distinguishes this specific piece within that grouping.
