| Comments |
Sportverein notgeld from Hamburg's immediate postwar coin shortage — St. Georg was a district-level sports club, not a municipal authority, which makes this issue unusual. Private associations occasionally printed their own small-denomination emergency money in 1921, typically to facilitate transactions at club events, canteens, or membership functions, but surviving examples attributable to named sports clubs are uncommon in notgeld catalogues.
A. Morlhan was a Hamburg printer active in small commercial work during the notgeld period. The DeNG reference grouping (552.1-4/6) suggests at least four distinct varieties exist within this issue.
