Lüdinghausen's 1921 notgeld issue belongs to the second wave of German municipal emergency currency — printed after the initial postwar coin shortage had theoretically passed, but with inflation already making small-denomination coinage economically unviable to mint. Fr. Wilh. Ruhfus of Dortmund was a regional workhorse printer for Westphalian notgeld, handling dozens of municipal contracts simultaneously during this period, which accounts for the family resemblance across many issues from this corner of the Ruhr.
