Mylau is a small textile-manufacturing town in the Vogtland district of Saxony, and this note belongs to the vast wave of municipal Notgeld that flooded Germany from 1914 onward as small coins vanished from circulation almost overnight — hoarded by a public that trusted metal over paper. Towns, businesses, and even individual shops printed their own emergency scrip to make change. The Stadtgemeinde's embossed seal was the only available authentication measure at this scale of issuer.
Vogtland municipal Notgeld from this period was typically printed locally in small runs and redeemed quickly, leaving survivors in genuinely limited numbers.
