10 Pfennig - Immenstadt

Immenstadt's 1919 emergency coinage was part of the vast wave of German municipal Notgeld issued as the Reich's centralized monetary system buckled under wartime debt and postwar dislocation. Bavaria in particular saw dozens of small towns striking zinc pieces to plug the gap left by hoarded copper and nickel coinage. Zinc was the compromise material — abundant, workable, deeply unglamorous.

The Funck 227.2 designation indicates a catalogued die variety, distinguishing this piece from at least one other emission of the same type.
