| Comments |
Neuendorf, now absorbed into Koblenz, issued this Notgeld piece through a memorial committee — "Denkmalausschuss" — rather than a municipal treasury or savings bank, which was an unusual arrangement even by the freewheeling standards of 1921 German emergency currency. The funds raised through circulation were designated for a local war memorial, making the note itself part of the fundraising mechanism.
Jos. Hauland's design credit places this among the many Rhineland Notgeld pieces produced by local commercial artists during the inflation spiral. The 75 Pfennig denomination was a common workaround for the chronic shortage of small coin at the time.
