10 Pfennig - Bergzabern

Bergzabern's iron notgeld emerged from the same wartime metal requisitions that stripped German municipalities of their copper and nickel coinage — by 1917, the Imperial government had commandeered non-ferrous metals so aggressively that towns across the Palatinate were left to strike emergency issues from whatever ferrous scrap the local economy could spare. The .5 suffix in the Funck and Mehl references indicates a die variety, suggesting more than one reverse or obverse pairing was documented for this type.
