Stecklenberg is a small village in the Harz region of Saxony-Anhalt, and like hundreds of similarly sized German communities in 1921, it issued its own emergency small-change scrip — Notgeld — to compensate for the chronic shortage of low-denomination coinage that had plagued Germany since the war years. The municipality almost certainly printed a very limited run, and these local issues were frequently collected rather than spent, making genuine circulation wear uncommon but not impossible.

The DeNG reference places this within the second subvariety of the 1258 series, which typically indicates a distinguishing feature — ink color, serial format, or paper stock — separating it from a near-identical companion piece.
