| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features a peripheral pearl border encircling an outer legend reading 'KLEINGELDERSATZMARKE' across the top arc and 'STADT TRIER' along the lower arc, separated by small star ornaments. Within this outer legend, a second inner pearl circle frames the large numeral '1' in the center of the field, denoting the denomination. The overall design is plain and utilitarian, consistent with wartime notgeld production. |

Trier's 1917 zinc Pfennig is municipal notgeld, struck because the Imperial German government's wartime metal requisitions had stripped copper from circulation almost entirely. Cities and towns were authorized — and in many cases compelled — to produce their own small-denomination emergency coinage to keep local commerce functional. Trier, one of the oldest cities in Germany and a major Rhineland administrative center, issued these pieces through the municipal authority as the war economy tightened through its third year.
Zinc was the default substitute, though it corrodes readily and strikes poorly under worn dies — a practical compromise nobody was proud of.
