Dülken is a small textile town in the Lower Rhine region, absorbed into the municipality of Viersen in 1970 but still administratively independent at the time this note circulated. The 75 Pfennig denomination is atypical — most Notgeld issues clustered at 25, 50, and multiples thereof, so this value suggests a specific local pricing need, possibly tied to tram fares or municipal utility charges.
Schott A.G. of Rheydt was a regional commercial printer, not a specialist banknote firm. That distinction mattered less in 1920, when hundreds of German municipalities were issuing emergency small-change notes to compensate for the near-total disappearance of coin from circulation.
