| Reverse description | A composite heraldic composition occupies the central field, featuring three coats of arms arranged in a shield formation: the upper-left quarter displays a diagonal bendy pattern (associated with the Oberndorf district arms), the upper-right quarter bears a standing lion, and a smaller inescutcheon at the lower center depicts a walking lion. The date '1918' is inscribed above the shield flanked by small asterisks, while the legend 'KRIEGS GELD' (war money) arcs around the lower portion of the shield, divided by the central escutcheon. The whole is enclosed within a raised circular border conforming to the octagonal flan. |

| Additional information |
Oberndorf am Neckar issued this Kriegsgeld piece in 1918 as the German imperial economy buckled under four years of war. Nickel and copper had been systematically redirected to armaments production since 1915, leaving municipal authorities across the Reich to plug the coinage gap with whatever base metals remained available. Iron was the default solution for dozens of small-town issuers that year, and Oberndorf — home to the Mauser rifle works — was hardly insulated from the pressures driving that shortage.
