Canth — now Kąty Wrocławskie in Lower Silesia — was a small Silesian market town, and its Stadtsparkasse was among the thousands of German municipal savings institutions that resorted to printing their own Notgeld during the acute small-change crisis of 1917–1921. The federal government's wartime metal requisitions had stripped silver and copper coinage from everyday commerce, leaving towns to fend for themselves.
Municipal Notgeld of this scale was typically printed locally or through regional jobbing printers, and authorization was informal at best. Redemption obligations were real in theory; in practice, many issuers quietly let unclaimed notes lapse.
