| Additional information |
Weilheim an der Teck issued this notgeld piece during the acute small-change famine that followed Germany's defeat — federal coinage had essentially vanished from circulation as hoarding and metal shortages stripped the country of usable fractions. Municipal iron issues like this one were a local stopgap, authorized at the city level and redeemable in theory but frequently never exchanged, which is precisely why so many survive in uncirculated condition.
