Georgshütte was an industrial works settlement within Siemianowitz, and like hundreds of similar Oberschlesische communities during the post-WWI inflationary period, its municipal authority issued fractional Notgeld to plug the chronic shortage of small-denomination coinage. A single-pfennig note is about as low as emergency currency gets — practical evidence of just how completely the Reichsmark's small change had vanished from everyday commerce by the early 1920s.
The Tieste Va reference places this within the exhaustive Kleingeldscheine classification. Stuzalek's signature identifies a local municipal signatory rather than a bank officer.
