| Aversbeschreibung | Outer pearl border follows the octagonal flan, enclosing a circular legend in Latin script reading MAGISTRAT DER STADT OSCHERSLEBEN with the date 1917 flanked by bullet stops at the base. An inner pearl circle frames the centrally placed municipal coat of arms of Oschersleben, a heraldic shield depicting crossed keys on the dexter side and vertical lines or bars on the sinister side, surmounted by an open book or similar charge at the chief. The overall design is rendered in low relief on a plain, unadorned field characteristic of wartime Notgeld coinage. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Oschersleben's zinc notgeld emerged from the acute metal shortages of 1917, when the German war economy had so thoroughly stripped copper and nickel from civilian coinage that municipalities were left to fend for themselves. The Imperial government's requisitioning of non-ferrous metals for shell casings and military hardware pushed hundreds of small towns into issuing their own emergency pfennig pieces, with zinc — harder to work, prone to corrosion, and deeply unpopular with the public — as the fallback material.
The Funck and Menzel double-listing indicates at least two distinct die varieties for this type, a common result when small municipal contracts were split between local job printers or die-cutters working without centralized oversight.
