German municipal and club notgeld of 1922 sits at an awkward juncture: the first inflationary wave had already eroded small-denomination coinage beyond practical use, forcing institutions well outside the banking system — sports clubs included — to print their own emergency scrip. Sport-Verein 09 Corbach was a football club in the Waldeck region, and their 50 Pfennig note was almost certainly intended for internal use: gate receipts, refreshments, club dues, that sort of closed-loop economy.
Louis Koch of Halberstadt was a minor but active notgeld printer during this period, servicing dozens of small issuers across central Germany.
