| Additional information |
Neukirchen beim Heiligen Blut is a Bavarian pilgrimage town whose economy has long depended on religious tourism tied to its venerated Marian image. This 10 Pfennig notmünze was issued in 1921 as part of the broader German municipal emergency coinage wave — Kleingeldersatz driven by the chronic small-denomination coin shortages that plagued the early Weimar period. Zinc was the default material for these issues precisely because brass and copper were still being hoarded or diverted. The Funck catalog remains the standard reference for Bavarian notmünzen of this type.
