| Additional information |
August Kirsch was a hardware merchant in Aschaffenburg whose zinc notgeld pfennig dates to the acute small-change shortage of 1917, when the Imperial German government's wartime metal requisitions had pulled copper and nickel coinage out of circulation almost entirely. Thousands of German municipalities, businesses, and institutions issued their own emergency pieces that year, and Kirsch's issue is among the more obscure private merchant emissions — catalogued under Hasselmann's regional survey but rarely appearing in trade.
