Schweich, a small wine-trading town on the Moselle, produced a substantial run of Notgeld during the 1921 small-change crisis — this piece issued not by the municipality itself but by the local merchants' and trades association, the Verein für Handel und Gewerbe. That distinction matters: chamber-issued Notgeld often circulated more narrowly than civic issues, accepted by member businesses but sometimes refused elsewhere.
J. Lintz of Trier was the dominant regional printer for Moselle-area emergency money, handling dozens of Notgeld contracts simultaneously. The DeNG suffix "3/3" indicates this is the third note of the third type in the Schweich sequence.
