Partenkirchen issued this zinc notgeld piece in 1917 as wartime metal requisitions stripped municipal coffers of copper and nickel. The town — not yet merged with Garmisch, that consolidation came in 1935 under pressure from the Nazi government ahead of the Winter Olympics — administered its own emergency coinage independently. Zinc was the default substitute across hundreds of German municipalities that year, corroding poorly in circulation and leaving surviving examples frequently pitted.
