| Additional information |
Backnang issued this notgeld piece in the closing months of World War I, when the Imperial German coinage system had essentially collapsed under the weight of wartime metal requisitioning. Iron replaced copper, nickel, and zinc in municipal emergency issues across Württemberg as the Reich stripped base metals for shell casings and military hardware. City administrations were left to fill the small-denomination gap themselves.
The Funck and Menzel reference numbers indicate two recognized varieties for this type — a detail worth noting for specialists working the Württemberg notgeld series.
