Neusalz an der Oder — now Nowa Sól in western Poland — was a Silesian textile town whose municipal savings bank issued this fractional note during the Notgeld emergency of the early 1920s. The 1,50 Mark denomination is an awkward one, chosen specifically to fill gaps left by the chronic shortage of small coinage rather than to match any standard banking denomination.
Carl Flemming & Wiskott in Glogau handled a substantial share of Silesian Notgeld production, which makes precise attribution within their output difficult. The Glogau press itself is now Głogów, Poland — the geography of this note's entire story shifted west of the Oder-Neisse line after 1945.
