Meiningen's 1921 notgeld series was designed by G. Lilie and printed by Franz Scheiner in Würzburg — an arrangement typical of the period, when municipalities across Thuringia contracted Bavarian printers rather than rely on overtaxed local presses. The 75 Pfennig denomination sits in the middle tier of what was almost certainly a multi-value emergency issue, produced as coin shortages made small-denomination transactions genuinely difficult in the postwar inflationary slide.
Meiningen had a long association with the arts — the court theater there was historically significant — but that reputation had little bearing on the functional urgency of getting these notes into local commerce.
