| Comments |
Egenbüttel is a village in the Pinneberg district that in 1921 had a population measured in the hundreds — which makes this note a genuinely minor piece of Kleingeldersatz, the emergency small-change scrip that flooded northern Germany as postwar coin shortages bit hardest into rural communities. The Gemeinde would have issued these through the communal office rather than any banking institution, with the Amt Pinneberg providing administrative cover.
Konrad Hanf was a Hamburg commercial printer regularly engaged for regional Notgeld runs during this period. The designer credit to "Schreiber" almost certainly refers to a staff artist rather than an independent engraver.
