| Comments |
Jacobshagen — now Dobrzany, in present-day Poland — was a small Pomeranian market town, and its 1920 notgeld issue reflects the acute small-denomination coin shortage that forced hundreds of German municipalities to print their own emergency scrip that year. The designer credit "Rob. Koch" appears on numerous Pomeranian notgeld series of this period; whether this refers to a local commercial artist or a regional print-house designer working across multiple municipal commissions is not established in the literature.
Jacobshagen notgeld is not widely collected as a standalone series, which keeps prices modest despite the town's political disappearance from Germany after 1945.
