| Comments |
Trittau is a small market town in Holstein, and like hundreds of German municipalities in the early 1920s, it issued its own Kleingeldersatz — substitute small change — to fill the vacuum left by hoarded and melted coinage during the inflationary spiral. The 75 Pfennig denomination sits in an awkward middle register: too large for everyday micro-transactions, too small to matter once hyperinflation accelerated through 1922 into 1923.
The DeNG suffix variants .2 and .3 typically denote serial number ranges or minor typographic differences in the overprint — distinctions that matter to specialists cataloging the full Trittau series but rarely affect valuation significantly between the two.
