Beuel was a small municipality on the right bank of the Rhine, directly opposite Bonn — administratively separate until annexation in 1969. Like hundreds of German local authorities in mid-1923, it issued its own Notgeld not out of any monetary ambition but out of raw necessity: the Reichsbank simply could not print fast enough to keep up with hyperinflation, and workers needed something to cash their weekly wages with.

The Rhenania-Druckerei in Bonn handled a substantial volume of emergency currency for Rhine-region municipalities during this period, which kept turnaround times short but made individual issues visually interchangeable. The 389a designation in the DeNG catalogue suggests at least one variant exists within the type.
