| Comments |
Celle's municipal notgeld program of 1922 falls into the inflationary small-change emergency that swept German cities as the Reichsmark's purchasing power collapsed and metal coinage disappeared from circulation entirely. Celle managed its own printing through Eduard Binder, a local firm — one of dozens of provincial printers drawn into currency production during this period not by design ambition but by sheer logistical necessity.
The DeNG reference suffix designates a specific signature or paper variant within the series, and collectors should verify the exact combination against the full Grabowski-Mehl catalog before attributing.
