| Opmerkingen |
Lauenstein is a small hilltop settlement in Lower Franconia, administratively a district of Ludwigsstadt, and an unlikely issuer of emergency currency. This note belongs to the vast wave of German municipal Notgeld produced in 1921, when chronic coin shortages — partly driven by metal hoarding and partly by the accelerating collapse of purchasing power — pushed even minor local authorities to contract commercial printers for small-denomination scrip.
Wiedemannsche Druckerei AG in Saalfeld was a regional commercial press that handled multiple Thuringian and Bavarian Notgeld commissions during this period, not a specialist banknote printer. The reference number suggests this is the second variant in the Lauenstein series.
