Rehmen is a small village in Thuringia, and this 50 Pfennig Notgeld dates from the peak of Germany's municipal emergency currency period — 1921, when hyperinflation had not yet fully erupted but coin shortages were severe enough that thousands of German communities printed their own small-denomination notes. Gebrüder Parcus in Munich handled a substantial volume of this Notgeld work, producing issues for municipalities across the country on a near-industrial scale.
The signatures of Bürgermeister Höckel and Gemeinderats-Vorsitzender Eulenstein give the note its local legal standing. Designer M.W. Schulz is credited — unusual enough to note, since many Parcus-printed Notgeld pieces went unattributed to any individual hand.
