Neustadt an der Orla was one of hundreds of small Thuringian municipalities that issued Kleingeldscheine during the 1921 coin shortage, but the "History Series" label marks this as something more deliberate than emergency scrip — the town used the format as a local publicity exercise, commissioning a thematically linked set rather than producing a single utilitarian note. Johannes Arndt Druckerei in Jena was a regional workhorse printer for this wave of municipal issues across Thuringia, handling multiple town contracts simultaneously.
The DeNG reference suffix .2-3/6 indicates this is one of several variants within the series, distinguished by design panel rather than denomination.
