Comments

This style of notgeld is known as "Briefmarkenkapselgeld" or "encased postage" and was used by some businesses as substitute for government authorized coinage during periods on monetary scarcity. While the coin is undated, the stamps used in both this piece and the 10 Pfenning Briefmarkenkapselgeld were only issued in 1921.
