| Additional information |
Northeim's 1918 iron notgeld issue belongs to the first wave of municipally produced emergency coinage that flooded Germany after the Imperial government's wartime metal requisitions stripped copper and nickel from civilian circulation entirely. Iron was the fallback — cheap, plentiful, and deeply resented by the public who associated it with the privations of the war economy.
The Funck reference places this among well-documented Niedersachsen municipal issues, though Northeim was a minor enough issuer that surviving examples in unworn condition are less common than the larger cities' equivalents.
