10 Pfennig - Eggenfelden

Eggenfelden is a small Bavarian market town, and its 1921 notgeld issue reflects the broader municipal scramble for emergency coinage during the postwar inflationary collapse, when the Reichsbank's metal coin supply had effectively dried up and local authorities were left to fill the gap themselves. Zinc was the practical choice — cheap, available, and already familiar from wartime ersatz coinage.
