| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within a beaded border, the central field depicts St. George on horseback, shown in dynamic right-facing motion, thrusting a lance downward into a prostrate dragon beneath the horse's hooves. The circular legend STADTRAT GÖSSNITZ S. A. flanks the device along the left and right periphery, with the date 1918 inscribed in the lower exergual area, separated from the central design by a horizontal line. The overall style is characteristic of German Notgeld emergency coinage of the World War I era. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gößnitz issued this zinc notgeld piece in 1918 as the German war economy stripped conventional coinage metals from circulation entirely — copper and nickel had been redirected to munitions production years earlier, leaving municipal councils across Saxe-Altenburg and the broader German states scrambling for emergency substitutes. Zinc was among the least desirable options, prone to oxidation and notoriously difficult to strike cleanly, which explains the frequently poor surface quality seen on surviving examples of this type.
