Anmerkungen

This note belongs to the Sonderjylland notgeld issues surrounding the 1920 plebiscite that determined whether the region would rejoin Denmark or remain part of Germany. Møgeltønder — a small parish in Zone A, which voted overwhelmingly for reunification — was among the Danish-sympathizing communities that produced local currency in the plebiscite period, and the notes from this area carry an unmistakable political charge beyond their face function as small-change substitutes.

The "propaganda note" designation is significant: these were not purely utilitarian emergency currency but instruments of Danish national sentiment, circulated at a moment when the outcome was still formally undecided.
