| Comments |
Mülsen-Sankt Jakob was a small Saxon textile village, and like hundreds of similar communities in 1921, it issued its own notgeld when small change became functionally unavailable due to postwar inflation and coin hoarding. The Ratsdruckerei R. Dulce in nearby Glauchau — a municipal print shop serving the Zwickau district — handled production for several such local issues, which accounts for the family resemblance between notes from neighboring parishes during this period.
The reference range 906.3-5/8 suggests at least three distinct varieties within this single denomination issue, likely differentiated by serial number range or minor typographic variation.
