Comments

Stedesand is a small parish in the Schleswig region, and this note dates from a period of acute political instability — the area was still under Danish administration following the post-WWI plebiscite process, with the final border between Germany and Denmark only drawn in June 1920. Municipal scrip of this kind was a direct response to the coin shortages that plagued small communities across the former German empire after 1918, and issuers at the parish level were among the smallest administrative units to produce Notgeld.

Gebr. & Kunze of Flensburg printed extensively for municipalities throughout Schleswig-Holstein during this period. Flensburg itself voted to remain German in the March 1920 plebiscite.
