Stolp's municipal savings bank — Sparkasse der Stadt Stolp — issued this note during the acute small-change crisis that followed Germany's postwar inflation spiral, when coin disappeared from circulation almost entirely and thousands of municipalities, utilities, and private firms stepped in with their own Notgeld. Carl Flemming & T. C. Wiskott in Glogau was one of the more prolific printers of Pomeranian Notgeld during this period, handling commissions from numerous nearby towns simultaneously.
The 75-Pfennig denomination is among the more unusual fractional values — most issuers favored 25, 50, and 1-Mark increments. W. H. Lippert's design credit appears on the plate.
