| Comments |
Pyrmont's notgeld program was typical of the early 1920s municipal emergency issues — local authorities filling the coin vacuum left by wartime metal requisitions and postwar hoarding. Kreis Pyrmont, a small administrative district in what is now Lower Saxony, commissioned Louis Koch of Halberstadt, a printer with a solid regional notgeld client base during this period.
The DeNG reference 1085.1-2/2 indicates this is the second sub-variety within the series, a distinction that usually turns on minor typographic or color differences — worth confirming against a reference copy before attributing with certainty.
