Bad Sulza's Spa Series notgeld was issued in 1921 as part of the broader German small-change emergency that followed the First World War, when coin shortages pushed hundreds of municipalities to print their own scrip. The "D" designation marks this as the fourth distinct issue from the same town, suggesting sustained local demand across the notgeld period rather than a single emergency print run.
The April 1945 printed date is almost certainly a catalog or documentation error — by that date, the Third Reich's financial infrastructure had collapsed entirely and no municipal notgeld was being produced.
