| Additional information |
Lohr am Main issued this iron notgeld piece in 1918 as Germany's wartime metal requisitions had stripped municipal coffers of copper and zinc, forcing hundreds of small towns to improvise emergency coinage from whatever base material remained available. Iron was the last resort. It corrodes aggressively in circulation, which is why surviving examples in any condition above heavily oxidized are genuinely harder to find than the original mintage figures would suggest.
