| Additional information |
Adam Weber & Co. was a Nuremberg hardware and metalware firm that issued emergency coinage — Notgeld — during the acute small-change shortage that gripped Germany in the early 1920s as zinc and copper were diverted toward industrial recovery. Private commercial Notgeld of this type was tolerated by municipal authorities only briefly before the Reichsbank moved to suppress non-state issues. Most saw circulation measured in months, not years.
