Saalfeld's 1921 Notgeld issue belongs to the wave of municipal emergency currency that flooded Germany during the postwar inflationary spiral, when coin shortages left local authorities printing their own fractional denominations simply to keep retail trade functioning. The designer credit "Wenck" aligns with several Thuringian Notgeld series of the period, though attribution across the regional output is inconsistently documented.
The DeNG reference suffix ".3-1/3" indicates this is one of three known variants within the 1155 grouping — worth noting when building a complete type set.
