Emmendingen's 1921 Notgeld issue was part of the vast wave of municipal emergency currency that flooded Germany as the Reichsbank struggled to keep small-denomination coinage in circulation during the postwar inflation spiral. Gebrüder Parcus in Munich was one of the more prolific Notgeld printers of the period, supplying dozens of Baden and Bavarian municipalities with lithographed series that varied considerably in artistic ambition.
The P#337.13/6 reference places this within a numbered series, suggesting Emmendingen issued multiple denominations or design variants simultaneously — common practice when a municipality needed to cover a range of everyday transactions that silver and copper coins could no longer reliably handle.
