| Opmerkingen |
Rietberg is a small town in the Teutoburg Forest region of Westphalia, and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1921, it issued its own emergency currency — Notgeld — to compensate for a chronic shortage of small-denomination coins. The Reichsbank simply could not keep pace with the inflationary pressure already building in the early Weimar years, and local authorities were effectively left to paper over the gap themselves.
Ad. Essich & Co. of Oldenburg handled a substantial volume of municipal Notgeld contracts during this period, producing competent if unspectacular work for small issuers across northwestern Germany. The DeNG reference 1123.1-2/5 suggests this note belongs to a numbered series within the Rietberg issue — likely part of a multi-value set circulated simultaneously.
