Additional information

Abensberg issued this zinc notgeld piece during the postwar monetary chaos that left German municipalities scrambling to produce their own small-denomination coinage. The zinc composition reflects wartime metal priorities that had not yet unwound — copper and nickel remained scarce in 1921, pushing municipal issuers toward inferior alloys that corrode readily, which is why problem-free survivors are harder to find than mintage figures alone would suggest.
