| Comments |
Kummerfeld is a small village in Holstein, and like hundreds of similarly minor German municipalities, it issued Notgeld during the severe coin shortage that followed World War One. The Konrad Hanf firm in Hamburg handled both design and printing here — a common arrangement for smaller issuers who lacked the resources or connections to commission separate design work. Hanf produced Notgeld for numerous northern German communities during this period, which means the artistic conventions on this note owe as much to that studio's house style as to any local identity.
