| Comments |
Bunzlau was a mid-sized Silesian town whose pottery industry had made it modestly prosperous, but by 1919 the municipal treasury was as strained as every other German local authority trying to keep small-denomination currency in circulation after the war. This note is part of the broader Notgeld wave — emergency scrip issued by municipalities to plug the coin shortage — printed locally by L. Fernbach rather than dispatched to one of the major Leipzig or Berlin printing houses.
The Gra#B103.6c designation suggests this is a specific variant within a numbered subseries, implying Bunzlau issued multiple runs. Collectors should note that Fernbach's local production occasionally shows ink consistency variation across the same print run.
