| Comments |
Neubrandenburg's 1921 Notgeld issue belongs to the second wave of German municipal emergency currency — the "Serienscheine" phase, when towns increasingly treated small-denomination paper as a collector vehicle rather than a pure monetary stopgap. Louis Koch of Halberstadt was a prolific printer of this material, handling commissions from municipalities across central Germany during the inflation years.
The 75 Pfennig denomination is among the less common face values in Notgeld series, most of which clustered around 25, 50, and 1 Mark.
