Oberwesel's 1919 iron notgeld issue belongs to the chaotic first months of the Weimar Republic, when municipal authorities across Germany scrambled to produce emergency coinage as federal metal currency nearly vanished from circulation. The Rhine valley towns were particularly exposed — demobilization, Allied occupation zones on both banks, and acute raw material shortages hit simultaneously. Iron was the default because copper, nickel, and zinc had been consumed by four years of war production.
The Funck 395.2 designation distinguishes this from at least one other die variety in the Oberwesel notgeld series.
