Canth — now Kąty Wrocławskie in southwestern Poland — was a small Silesian market town whose municipal savings bank issued this notgeld during the hyperinflationary spiral of the early Weimar period. The Stadt-Sparkasse was acting under emergency provision, not monetary authority; these fractional notes filled the coin vacuum created when metal coinage disappeared from circulation almost entirely by 1921.
Grube & Schneider in nearby Freiburg in Schlesien handled the print run — a local job for a local problem. The entire region produced dozens of such issues that year, most in short series, most redeemed and pulped within months.
