Lehesten sits in the Saalfeld-Rudolstadt district of Thuringia, a small town whose economy was built almost entirely on the extraction and cutting of roofing slate — an industry that had run there since the medieval period. This note was issued at the height of Germany's postwar Notgeld wave, when thousands of municipalities printed their own small-denomination scrip to address a severe shortage of circulating coin. Merzdorf & Frosch in nearby Saalfeld handled a considerable volume of Thuringian municipal Notgeld during this period.
The 1921 date places this issue in the second, more collectible phase of Notgeld production, when many towns were printing explicitly for the philatelic market rather than genuine monetary need.
