| Additional information |
Neumünster's Bankverein issued this zinc piece as emergency money — Notgeld — during the acute coin shortages that followed World War I, when hoarding and metal requisitioning had stripped ordinary circulation of nearly all small denomination coinage. Zinc was the compromise material: cheap, workable, and available when copper and nickel were not.
