Bokelsess is a small village in the Hörnerkirchen administrative district — the kind of rural Schleswig-Holstein settlement that would never have issued its own currency under normal circumstances. The 80 Pfennig denomination is itself unusual; most Notgeld series stuck to round figures, and the choice of 80 suggests this was calculated to fill a very specific gap in local small-change supply rather than issued as a collectible set.
Konrad Hanf was a Hamburg printer who handled a substantial volume of Schleswig-Holstein municipal Notgeld during 1921, when the inflationary spiral was accelerating but hyperinflation had not yet peaked.
