| Comments |
Stettin's municipal treasury began issuing Notgeld in earnest after the postwar currency chaos made Reichsbank notes functionally useless for small transactions — shops couldn't make change, and official coinage had largely vanished from circulation. The Bauchwitz print shop was a local firm, which kept production costs down and turnaround fast, though it also means quality control varied across runs of the same denomination.
The designer credit to "Noll" is unusual specificity for municipal emergency currency of this period. Most Notgeld catalogues don't bother attributing design at all.
