| Comments |
Neunhofen is a small village in Thuringia, and like hundreds of comparable communities it entered the Notgeld market in 1921 as the inflationary spiral made small-change coinage functionally useless. Ewald Taudte's print shop in nearby Neustadt-Orla was the natural local choice — a regional commercial printer rather than one of the specialist banknote firms, which accounts for the relatively modest production values typical of these rural Thuringian issues.
Designer M. W. Schulze is otherwise unattested in the major Notgeld literature — likely a local commercial artist or schoolteacher rather than a professional graphic designer.
