Bullenkuhlen is a village in Schleswig-Holstein that, as of the 2011 census, had fewer than 200 inhabitants. In 1921 it was no larger. The fact that a settlement this small issued its own notgeld is less surprising than it sounds — the 1920–1922 period saw thousands of German municipalities printing emergency small change as federal coin supplies collapsed under postwar inflation pressure, and no issuer was too obscure to participate.
The .2 suffix in the DeNG reference indicates a second variant within the Bullenkuhlen 75 Pfennig series — likely a printing or color differentiation. Collectors of Kleingeldscheine often find the minor variants from tiny issuers harder to source than the first type, simply because print runs for villages of this size were small to begin with.
