| Comments |
Husby is a small parish in the Schleswig district, and this note dates from a politically raw moment — the 1920 plebiscite had just redrawn the German-Danish border, leaving Husby firmly on the German side despite a local population with strong Danish sympathies. The Notgeld wave of 1921 was partly administrative necessity and partly an assertion of local identity at precisely the moment such identity was being contested.
The DeNG reference places this within the second Husby issue. Small municipal Notgeld of this period was rarely redeemed at face value once the issuing authority dissolved or the emergency currency period ended — many communities simply stopped honoring them.
