| Comments |
Ober Salzbrunn was a well-known Silesian spa town — its mineral springs drew wealthy visitors from across Germany and beyond — and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1921, it issued its own Notgeld to compensate for the severe small-denomination coin shortage that persisted years after the First World War ended. Grass, Barth & Comp., operating under the W. Friedrich imprint in Breslau, handled an enormous volume of Silesian Notgeld printing during this period and the production quality reflects that industrial familiarity.
The single signatory, Dr. Meyn, would have been a municipal official authorized to validate the issue.
