Dieburg's 1918 notgeld issue belongs to the vast wave of municipal emergency coinage that flooded Germany in the final year of the First World War, as the central government's metal requisitions left local economies without adequate small change. Iron was the default fallback — copper and nickel had been commandeered for the war effort years earlier. The district of Dieburg, a modest administrative unit in Hesse-Darmstadt, was one of hundreds of small issuers forced into ad hoc monetary administration by Berlin's failure to maintain coin supply.
The Funck 92.2 designation distinguishes this from at least one other variety in the local series.
