Kolberg's 1921 notgeld series was among the more deliberately collectible issues of the postwar Kleingeldersatz wave — municipalities like Kolberg understood that hobbyist demand meant printed quantities would never fully enter circulation, effectively making the notes a revenue source rather than a genuine monetary stopgap. Gebrüder Parcus in Munich was a prolific printer for this market, producing notgeld for dozens of German towns simultaneously during 1920–1921.
The DeNG 1/2#737.2 reference places this as the second of three known types in the Kolberg 75 Pfennig group, distinguished by serial or design variants that the catalog's fractional numbering system was specifically devised to track.
