Bunzlau — now Bolesławiec in southwestern Poland — was a Silesian market town better known for its distinctive salt-glazed brown pottery than for its municipal finances. This notgeld was issued by the Magistrat under the emergency small-change shortage that paralyzed German retail commerce from 1917 onward, a crisis caused partly by the hoarding of metal coinage as base metals were requisitioned for war production.
Municipal issues from Silesian towns of this size were typically printed by local jobbing printers on whatever paper stock was available, which accounts for the variation in paper weight and color found across surviving examples of this series.
