50 Pfennig with Ausgabe and Reihe

Freiberg's silver mining history made it one of Saxony's wealthier towns, which gives some irony to this 1918 Notgeld issue — the city that had once supplied the Saxon electors with metal currency was reduced to printing emergency paper scrip because of wartime coin hoarding. The Ausgabe and Reihe designations on this type indicate batch and series tracking, a system the Stadtrat used to manage successive printings as demand continued through the final year of the war.

Krey und Sommerlad operated out of Niedersedlitz, a Dresden suburb that handled a significant volume of Saxon municipal Notgeld work during this period. Designer Rieß is credited in the plate — uncommon for small-denomination Kleingeldscheine, where artistic attribution was rarely considered worth recording.
