| Comments |
Schneidemühl — today Piła in northwestern Poland — was a Prussian railroad junction town whose municipal savings bank issued this fractional note during the German notgeld emergency of the early 1920s. The 1.50 Mark denomination is unusual; most municipal issuers gravitated toward round figures, and the odd increment suggests a specific local transaction need, possibly tied to transit fares or market pricing.
Carl Flemming & T. C. Wiskott in Glogau were a well-established commercial printing house responsible for a significant portion of Silesian and Pomeranian notgeld output in this period.
