| Opmerkingen |
Königsberg in der Neumark — now Chojna, Poland — was one of hundreds of small German municipalities that issued emergency small-change notes (Kleingeldscheine) during the coin shortages that followed the First World War. The 1921 date places this within the middle phase of the Notgeld boom, after the initial postwar scramble but before hyperinflation made small denominations essentially worthless by 1923.
Printed locally by H. Madrasch, this is genuine workhorse Notgeld — functional, municipal, and never intended for collectors, though the collector market eventually consumed most of it anyway.
