| Comments |
Stolp — now Słupsk in northwestern Poland — was part of the Province of Pommern when the local Sparkasse issued this note during the inflationary spiral that forced hundreds of German municipalities and savings banks to produce their own emergency currency. The Carl Flemming & Wiskott press in Glogau was one of the more prolific regional printers of Notgeld, handling runs for numerous Pomeranian and Silesian issuers during this period.
W. H. Lippert's credit appearing on a 50 Pfennig municipal note is a small but useful detail for tracing the network of commercial designers working the Notgeld trade in the early 1920s.
