Additional information

Lembeck is a small parish in Westphalia, and its 1919 iron notgeld issue belongs to the chaotic first year of Weimar-era emergency coinage, when municipal authorities across Germany scrambled to fill the vacuum left by hoarded copper and nickel coins. Iron was the default material for countless minor issuers — cheap, workable, and already familiar from wartime Reich coinage — though it corrodes aggressively in circulation, which accounts for the difficulty of finding problem-free survivors from small-town issues like this one.
