Schnelsen was an independent municipality northwest of Hamburg until its incorporation into the city-state in 1937. This 75 Pfennig note is Notgeld — emergency small-change currency issued by thousands of German municipalities during the acute coin shortage that followed World War I. The denomination itself is worth noting: 75 Pfennig issues are less common than the ubiquitous 25, 50, and 100 Pfennig pieces that dominated local Notgeld production, suggesting Schnelsen had a specific transactional need in mind rather than simply filling a gap.
