Quedlinburg's municipal notgeld program was typical of the inflationary spiral hitting German local governments in 1921, when Reichsbank coin shortages forced hundreds of towns to print their own small-denomination paper. What distinguishes this particular issue is that H. Meyerding — the printer — was a local Quedlinburg firm, meaning the entire production chain, from commission to distribution, stayed within the town itself. That was not always the case; many municipalities farmed out notgeld production to Leipzig or Berlin printers.
Quedlinburg, as a former seat of the Ottonian dynasty and a town with genuine medieval prestige, produced notgeld that collectors pursued even at the time of issue — the secondary market for "serienscheine" was already active by mid-1921.
