| Comments |
Garstedt was a small rural commune in the Pinneberg district of Schleswig-Holstein, and its decision to issue notgeld in the 75-Pfennig denomination places this squarely in the post-WWI emergency currency wave of 1918–1922, when hundreds of German municipalities printed their own small-denomination notes to compensate for the near-total disappearance of coins from circulation. The 75-Pfennig value is slightly unusual — most communes favored 50 Pfennig or 1 Mark — which suggests local pricing peculiarities or a specific exchange convenience driving the denomination choice.
Konrad Hanf was a Hamburg-based printer who handled notgeld commissions for numerous small northern German municipalities during this period.
