I am not sure, but it looks like “notgeld”. It was issued by cities during the time of hyperinflation in Germany in the 1920. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notgeld
The title is german distress in pictures – Humoursly and seriously – official Documents!
As far as i can tell it contains documents from post WW1 germany. Marked by an economic devastation and hyper inflation. They are mostly coupon codes for money (social security) and coupons for folkfests, issued by different cities and entities
