Artern is a small salt-mining town in Thuringia, and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1921, it issued Notgeld simply because the Reichsbank couldn't produce small-denomination coinage fast enough to meet demand during the post-WWI inflation spiral. These municipal issues were authorized under emergency provisions but operated with almost no central oversight, which is why quality and design ambition varied so wildly from one town to the next.
Artern's series is among the more locally specific of the Thuringian issues, drawing on the town's salt extraction history rather than generic patriotic imagery. Collector demand for the 1921 Notgeld wave dried up almost immediately after the 1923 hyperinflation rendered the entire class of emergency paper obsolete.
