Saarburg's 1922 Notgeld issue is one of the more carefully produced examples from the Rhineland series — Gebrüder Parcus in Munich had a strong reputation among municipal clients for quality lithographic work, and the city clearly spent more on this than the typical town scrip of the period. Martin Mendgen's involvement as designer is worth noting; he contributed to several Rhineland notgeld commissions during the early 1920s inflation years, though he remains underresearched relative to better-known notgeld artists.

The DeNG reference distinguishes five to six varieties within this single denomination, almost certainly reflecting sequential print runs as the 1922 hyperinflationary pressure kept demand for small-change substitutes relentless through the year.
