Canth — now Kąty Wrocławskie in southwestern Poland — was a small Lower Silesian market town of no particular monetary significance. This note belongs to the vast wave of German municipal Notgeld issued between 1919 and 1922, when chronic small-coin shortages forced local institutions to fill the gap themselves. Stadt-Sparkasse issues carry a different legal weight than those from municipal governments proper; savings banks operated under Prussian provincial banking law, which made their Notgeld technically a liability of the institution rather than the town.
The Gra#220.6b designation places this within a numbered sub-series, suggesting multiple design or print variants were catalogued separately by Grabowski — not unusual for Silesian savings bank issues of this period.
