Sellin's notgeld series from the early 1920s falls squarely within the coastal resort municipality's habit of treating emergency currency as a promotional vehicle — these small-denomination issues were deliberately collectible, aimed as much at Baltic summer tourists as at local commerce. The watermark on this 75 Pfennig piece is worth noting; it was not a universal feature of notgeld at this level, and its inclusion suggests a printer with access to better-grade stock than many comparable municipal issues.
