| Additional information |
Brunswick issued its own iron notgeld coinage in 1918 as the German imperial government's wartime requisitioning of copper and nickel left municipal and state authorities scrambling to fill the gap in small change. The duchy was one of the few German federal states to strike iron pieces at this denomination rather than relying solely on paper notgeld. Iron coins from this period corrode aggressively in anything but ideal storage conditions, which explains why problem-free survivors are genuinely difficult to source.
