| Additional information |
Ebingen issued this notgeld piece in 1918 as wartime iron and copper shortages forced hundreds of German municipalities to produce their own emergency coinage. The German imperial government had been systematically pulling base metals from circulation since 1915 to feed the war industries, leaving towns like this Württemberg textile center with an acute shortage of small change for everyday transactions.
