Kleve's 1921 Notgeld emission belongs to the dense wave of municipal emergency currency that flooded Germany as coin disappeared from circulation during the postwar economic dislocation. Louis Koch of Halberstadt was a workhorse printer for small-town Notgeld commissions across this period, turning around short runs quickly and cheaply for dozens of municipalities simultaneously.
The 75-Pfennig denomination is slightly unusual — most series leaned on round figures — suggesting Kleve's issue committee was calibrating denominations against specific local pricing needs rather than following a template.
