Aschaffenburg's Stadtmagistrat issued emergency paper money — Notgeld — during the severe coin shortage that gripped Germany from roughly 1916 onward. Municipal authorities across Bavaria and beyond were authorized to produce small-denomination emergency issues to keep local commerce functioning when metal coinage disappeared into hoarding and war production.
The DeNG 3#022.02 reference places this within the third catalog volume of German Notgeld, a sprawling field where minor typographic variants between otherwise identical issues can separate common from genuinely scarce. Worth confirming which specific variant this represents before pricing accordingly.
