| Opmerkingen |
Merseburg's 1921 Notgeld issue was part of the broader municipal emergency currency wave that swept Germany as the Reichsbank struggled to keep small denominations in circulation amid postwar inflation. Gebrüder Parcus of Munich was one of the more prolific Notgeld printers of the period, producing issues for dozens of municipalities — their output is generally well-executed, which partly explains why Merseburg's notes attracted collector interest even during the original circulation period. Notgeld collecting was already a serious hobby by 1921, and some issues were printed in quantities that far exceeded local monetary need.
A. Wessner's design credit is unusual to find explicitly documented for a Parcus commission.
