Issued to mark the Schlesische Lutherfestspiele — a Silesian Luther festival staged in Breslau in 1921 — this Notgeld piece belongs to a category of commemorative emergency currency that German municipalities used extensively in the early 1920s, as much for local promotion and collector revenue as for genuine transactional need. Grass, Barth & Comp., operating under the W. Friedrich imprint, was a well-established Breslau printing house with deep roots in the city's commercial publishing trade.
The series reference DeNG 1/2#186.1-1/5 indicates five distinct vignette varieties were issued under this single denomination.
