I want to say that the communist movement had yet to adopt the symbol (they did it in either 1918 or 1919) and the hammer and sickle mainly stood for the workers class movement or something similar? Chile used the symbol (not stylized as similarly to the Soviet one as this German notgeld) in the 19th Century so it definitely held importance before much of the Marxism powers spread.
