| Comments |
Kahla is a small Thuringian town best known for its porcelain industry, and like hundreds of German municipalities, clubs, and private organizations during the hyperinflationary spiral of the early 1920s, its football club issued emergency scrip — Notgeld — to cover small transactions when official coinage had effectively vanished from everyday commerce. The Sportverein's issue is unusual in that a sports club, rather than a municipality or savings bank, held issuing authority, placing it in a distinct subcategory of private Notgeld that collectors frequently undervalue relative to its genuine scarcity.
J. P. Himmer in Augsburg was a prolific Notgeld printer and handled commissions from across southern Germany during this period.
