| Additional information |
Dillkreis issued this zinc notgeld piece in 1917, when the imperial government's wartime metal requisitions had stripped municipal and district authorities of reliable coin supply. Zinc was the compromise material — despised by vending machine operators and the public alike, but available. District-level issues like this one operated in a legal grey zone; the Reich tolerated local emergency coinage out of necessity, not approval.
