Harzgerode is a small town in the eastern Harz mountains, and like hundreds of German municipalities it resorted to locally printed Notgeld during the inflationary spiral of the early 1920s when Reichsbank notes in small denominations became practically impossible to obtain. Louis Koch was a Halberstadt printer who handled a considerable volume of this regional emergency scrip — competent commercial work, not fine engraving.
The 75 Pfennig denomination is among the more common fractional values in Harz-region Notgeld, though the DeNG reference suffix ".3-3/3" suggests this is the third type within the third series of the Harzgerode issue, meaning at least two earlier variants preceded it.
