| Comments |
Neuendorf-Coblenz Notgeld from 1921, issued by a memorial committee — "Denkmalausschuss" — rather than a municipal or commercial authority. These civic monument committees occasionally issued emergency small change during the pfennig shortage years, using the notes partly as fundraising instruments for war memorial construction. The committee, not the town treasury, controlled the issue.
Jos. Rauland's credit suggests local artistic production rather than a major printing house. The DeNG reference places this firmly in the German Notgeld series catalogued by Diekmann and Grabowski.
