| Comments |
Schobüll is a coastal village on the Schleswig-Holstein mudflats, and its 1921 Notgeld issue belongs to the second wave of German municipal emergency money — the period when small communities discovered that colorful local scrip had become a collector's market in its own right. By 1921, many Gemeinden were printing far more than local need required, selling directly to dealers and hobbyists. Whether Schobüll's issue was genuinely circulated or primarily a philatelic venture is worth considering.
The 75-Pfennig denomination is slightly unusual — most series leaned on 25, 50, and 100 as the natural breaks.
