1 Pfennig - Landsberg an der Warthe

Landsberg an der Warthe — today Gorzów Wielkopolski in Poland — issued iron notgeld pfennigs during the acute small-change shortage that gripped German municipalities in the early 1920s. Iron was not a preferred minting metal; it was the available one. Municipal authorities across Prussia issued their own coinage not out of ambition but sheer necessity, as copper and nickel had been swallowed by wartime requisitions and postwar metal shortages left everyday transactions without workable small denominations.

The Funck reference places this among the catalogued Brandenburg-region municipal issues. Iron strikes of this type corrode readily, making uncorroded survivors notably harder to locate than the original mintages might suggest.
