10 Pfennig Pattern

Eberbach's wartime notgeld program is well-documented in iron and zinc, but a pattern struck in .999 gold sits entirely outside the utilitarian calculus of municipal emergency coinage. Funck 106.2 is presumed a presentation or approval piece — the kind of object a city council member or mint representative might retain rather than anything approaching a circulation proposal. Germany's non-ferrous metal requisitions of 1917 would have made a gold municipal issue not just impractical but legally incoherent.

At 3.84 grams, the planchet weight bears no relationship to the coin's nominal face value under any wartime conversion rate.
