The Free City of Danzig was established in November 1920 under the agreements of the Treaty of Versailles. The issue of the currency system was left to the decisions of the city authorities. Initially, the German mark was maintained in the area. However, as a result of rampant inflation in Germany, it was decided to establish its own currency - the guilder, which was divided into 100 fenigs. It became legal tender in late 1923 and remained until 1939. The paper money issued in Danzig featured the iconography of the city.
During World War I, Danzig shared the fate of other German cities in monetary terms. The lack of low-denomination coins forced the use of substitute money.
