Bischofsheim vor der Rhön is a small Franconian market town at the foot of the Rhön highlands, and like hundreds of German municipalities it resorted to locally issued Notgeld during the acute small-change shortages of 1917–1921. The DeNG reference places this within the second subtype of the 0107.3 series — meaning at least two distinct printings or varieties exist for this denomination from this issuer, a level of granularity that matters to specialist collectors working the Bavarian regional issues.
Paper Notgeld of this type was never intended to circulate long; most was redeemed within months and pulped.
