Xanten's 1921 Notgeld issue was designed by Heinz Schiestl, a Würzburg-based artist who contributed prolifically to the decorative Notgeld boom of the early Weimar period. His involvement here is typical of the era's cottage industry of municipal emergency money, where town councils commissioned recognizable illustrators partly for civic pride and partly because attractive notes were less likely to be spent — collector demand was already being deliberately cultivated by 1921.
Printing by J. Adolf Schwarz of Lindenberg im Allgäu, a house that handled a substantial volume of south German Notgeld commissions during this period.
