Treysa was a small Hessian town — population well under 5,000 — and like hundreds of similarly sized German municipalities, it issued Notgeld during the currency chaos of 1921–1922 when the Reichsbank could not keep small-denomination coinage and notes in circulation fast enough to meet demand. The 75 Pfennig denomination is characteristic of that period's improvisational arithmetic: issuers printed whatever fractions they needed to make change, unconstrained by any central authority's denomination schedule.
Scharfes Druckereien in Wetzlar handled a substantial volume of municipal Notgeld commissions from towns across Hesse and the surrounding region during these years.
