Bockswiese-Hahnenklee was a small mining and spa settlement in the Upper Harz, and its 1922 notgeld issue reflects exactly that dual identity — the spa trade had largely displaced the old silver-mining economy by this point, and local notgeld was as much a souvenir commodity as an emergency currency. Many Harz municipalities printed these small-denomination pieces knowing full well that collectors, not shopkeepers, were the primary market.
Klischee-Fabrik Harzer Graphia was a regional press that handled a number of Harz-area notgeld commissions during the inflationary period. Curt Hanitzsch's involvement as designer is the more notable credit here — he produced artwork for multiple German notgeld series in the early 1920s.
