75 Pfennig

Lennep is a small Rhenish town that was incorporated into Remscheid in 1929, which means its Notgeld issues — including this 75 Pfennig — were produced by a municipality that no longer exists as an independent entity. The note belongs to the second wave of German emergency currency, issued when the Reichsbank's coin shortages of the early postwar years had still not been resolved and local authorities across Prussia were left to fill the gap themselves.

J. Adolf Schwarz of Lindenberg was a specialist in small-denomination Notgeld production, handling commissions from numerous Bavarian and Rhenish municipalities during this period. DeNG 2#791.1 places this firmly within a documented series, though single-denomination issues from minor Rhenish towns like Lennep tend to appear in smaller quantities than the collector-targeted sets produced elsewhere.
