Altona occupied an unusual administrative position in 1918 — a Prussian city geographically encircled by Hamburg but stubbornly independent, not formally incorporated until 1937. The Stadthauptkasse, the municipal treasury, issued this Notgeld in response to the wartime coin shortage that had stripped small-denomination metal from everyday commerce across Germany. Local bodies issuing their own emergency fractional currency was not unusual by 1918, but the Altona issues carry the added layer of a city acutely aware of its own distinct civic identity.
Köbner printed locally, which was the norm for Notgeld of this type — transit costs and urgency made distant printers impractical.
