Blomberg's 75 Pfennig Notgeld of 1921 sits in an awkward denomination — 75 Pfennig issues were never common in German emergency currency, most municipalities defaulting to 25, 50, and 1 Mark values that mirrored familiar pre-war coinage. The choice suggests a specific local pricing need rather than a round-figure placeholder.
Oscar Mai's Lemgo press handled Notgeld work for several Lippe-area communities during the early 1920s inflation spiral. Lemgo, not Blomberg itself, was the practical printing center for the region.
