| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central device features the municipal coat of arms of Pforzheim, a quartered heraldic shield surmounted by a mural crown with three visible towers. The shield is flanked at the base by two small olive or laurel sprigs, lending a decorative heraldic character to the composition. The legend 'KRIEGSNOTGELD' (war emergency money) arcs across the upper field within the beaded border. The date '1917' is inscribed in the lower exergual area beneath the shield, between the flanking sprigs. The overall design is typical of German municipal Notgeld issues of the First World War period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Pforzheim's zinc notgeld issues of 1917 emerged from the same wartime metal shortage that forced municipalities across Germany to deputize local printing offices and small foundries as de facto minting authorities. The imperial government had systematically stripped copper and nickel from circulation for munitions production, leaving city treasuries to improvise. Zinc was grudgingly accepted as the least objectionable substitute — cheap, workable, but prone to corrosion, which explains why high-grade survivors of these municipal pieces are genuinely scarce despite originally modest face values.
