Oberammergau's 1921 Notgeld issue was almost certainly timed to capitalize on the town's famous Passion Play, which had resumed that year after the disruptions of the First World War. The municipality would have been acutely aware of the collector market for decorative Notgeld by 1921 — the so-called "Serienscheine" phenomenon was in full swing, and many German communities were printing small-denomination emergency notes as much for philatelic sale as for actual exchange.
Brendamour, Simhart & Co. were among Munich's more accomplished commercial lithographers and handled a number of Bavarian Notgeld commissions during this period. The firm's work on this series is notably finer than most municipal issues of comparable size.
