Comments

Stettin's Notgeld program was among the more locally self-contained of the 1921 series — Bauchwitz was a Stettin printing house, so design, printing, and issuance all originated in the same city. The designer credit "Noll" appears on several Pomeranian Notgeld issues of this period, though no definitive biographical record has been firmly attached to the name in the standard references.

The DeNG reference suffix structure here — 1/2#1270.1a-2/4 — indicates this is one of four known variants within the sub-series, distinguished by minor printing differences rather than distinct denominations or dates.
