Langenaltheim is a small quarrying village in the Altmühl valley, and its wartime notgeld issue reflects the near-total collapse of small-denomination Reichsmark coinage by 1917 — nickel and copper had been requisitioned for munitions production, leaving ordinary commercial transactions in rural communities functionally impossible without local substitutes. Himmer in Augsburg was a natural choice for Bavarian municipalities: an established regional press with the facilities to produce short-run official documents quickly.
The official seal was the primary — and thin — guarantee of authenticity. Counterfeiting a village's 50-Pfennig emergency scrip was hardly worth the effort.
