| Beschrijving voorzijde | The coat of arms of Münster occupies the central field, depicting a helmeted knight in armour rising from a crown-adorned shield, with a fan-shaped crest surmounting the closed visor helm above. A continuous pearl border frames the design along the coin's periphery. The city name legend is inscribed in raised Latin lettering, reading '• STADT • MÜNSTER i.W', divided on either side of the arms, running from lower left to lower right along the inner edge of the pearl rim. |

Münster's zinc Notgeld issues of 1917 arrived at a moment when the German war economy had stripped copper and nickel from civilian coinage entirely, redirecting both metals to shell casings and military hardware. Municipal authorities across the Reich were left to source whatever base metals remained, and zinc — brittle, prone to corrosion, and deeply unpopular with the public — became the reluctant default for dozens of Westphalian towns.
Zinc strikes from this period are notoriously unforgiving of storage conditions, and surviving examples free of surface oxidation or edge cracking are considerably scarcer than raw census numbers suggest.
