| Comments |
Reichenbach in Lower Silesia was one of hundreds of German administrative districts that issued Kleingeldersatz — small-change substitutes — during the acute coin shortage that followed the First World War. The Kreisausschuss, the elected district committee, held the authority to authorize such emergency scrip locally, which is why German Notgeld of this type varies so wildly in design quality and print standards from one district to the next.
Carl Flemming u. C.T. Wiskott in Glogau printed a significant volume of Silesian Notgeld, and their output is generally among the more competently produced regional issues — cleaner registration, better ink saturation than many competitors working under the same wartime pressures.
