Rogasen — now Rogoźno in western Poland — was a predominantly German-administered town in the Posen province. This Pfennig note is Notgeld, emergency small change issued by the municipal authority during the coin shortage that gripped Germany from roughly 1916 onward, when metal was being diverted to the war effort. Municipal magistrates across the Reich issued their own fractional denominations because the central government simply wasn't supplying enough subsidiary coinage to keep local commerce moving.
After 1918, Rogoźno passed to the reconstituted Polish state under the Treaty of Versailles. Any Rogasen-stamped civic paper became obsolete almost immediately.
