Vojens Kommune issued this 50 Pfennig note during the 1920 Schleswig plebiscites, when the region's political future was literally undecided at the time of printing. The second plebiscite zone — which included Vojens — voted in May 1920 to remain with Germany, meaning this Notgeld was issued by a municipality that had not yet formally confirmed its national identity. Within months, the border was redrawn and Vojens became Vamdrup amt under Danish administration, making locally-issued German-denominated municipal scrip from this town immediately obsolete.
Gebh. & Kunze in Flensburg handled a substantial volume of Schleswig plebiscite-era Notgeld. Flensburg itself voted to stay German in the first zone.
