| Comments |
Brunshaupten was a small Baltic Sea resort on the Mecklenburg coast — the kind of seaside town whose local savings bank had no business issuing emergency currency except that, like hundreds of German municipalities between 1914 and 1923, it had no choice. This 75 Pfennig denomination is Notgeld, issued to cover the chronic shortage of small change that plagued the Reich throughout and after the First World War.
Carl Flemming & T. C. Wiskott in Glogau printed vast quantities of municipal Notgeld during this period, servicing issuers across northern Germany. The printer data lists Glogau as Germany — correct for the era, though the city is now Głogów in Poland.
