| Additional information |
Offenbach am Main's notgeld issues emerged from the acute coin shortage that gripped Germany during and after World War I, when the imperial government suspended normal minting priorities and municipalities — along with private firms — filled the gap with locally authorized emergency money. J. Mayer & Sohn, a Offenbach manufacturer, issued zinc pieces rather than the more common cardboard or paper notgeld, a choice that reflects both the firm's industrial capacity and the practical durability demanded by workshop circulation.
