50 Pfennig Districts Series - Issue 6: Kreuzberg

Berlin's 1921 Notgeld issues were a direct response to the chronic small-change shortage that plagued Weimar Germany in the immediate post-war years — federal coinage simply could not be produced fast enough to meet demand, so municipalities across Germany printed their own emergency fractions. The Districts Series assigned each borough its own design, making Kreuzberg one of roughly twenty administratively distinct Berlin localities represented across the run.

The "V1" suffix in the Pick reference denotes a recognized variety within the 92.1 grouping — likely a paper stock or overprint distinction rather than a reissue, though documentation on individual variety separations within this series remains inconsistent across major references.
