| Comments |
Grünberg — now Zielona Góra in present-day Poland — was a modest Silesian wine-producing town, and its municipal authority was among hundreds across Weimar Germany forced to print emergency Kleingeld notes after postwar coin shortages stripped everyday commerce of workable small change. J. Fiedler was a local printing firm, not a specialist security printer, and the handmade paper substrate reflects the improvised procurement that characterized provincial Notgeld production in 1921.
The DeNG reference suffix "1a-7/7" suggests this is the complete seventh type within the first Grünberg series — collectors assembling full runs find the later issues in this sequence consistently harder to locate than the earlier ones.
