| Comments |
Ober Salzbrunn was a spa town in Lower Silesia — Oberschlesien adjacent, but this note predates the plebiscite crisis resolution and was issued during the period of acute small-change shortages that plagued provincial Germany through the early 1920s. Grass, Barth & Comp. (operating under the W. Friedrich imprint) handled much of the Notgeld output for Silesian municipalities from their Breslau presses, producing enormous quantities of similar municipal emergency issues across the region.
The printer's Breslau address is now Wrocław, Poland — a geographic fact that makes cataloging this note's origin straightforward despite postwar boundary changes.
