This 1921 "Notgeld" (emergency money) token, designed by A. Kamp, was created in Höhr, Germany during a period of hyperinflation. The coin features a stylized angel on the front and the inscription "75 Notgeld Höhr" on the back, signifying its value as a temporary form of currency. Made from terracotta, it reflects the resourcefulness of the German people during a time of economic crisis. It's a poignant reminder of the ingenuity employed to overcome financial hardship, especially in the aftermath of World War I.
