| Additional information |
Radeberg is a small Saxon town best known for its brewery, founded in 1872, and for producing Germany's first pilsner-style lager. This zinc notgeld piece dates from the emergency currency wave that swept German municipalities during and after World War I, when chronic metal shortages and hoarding stripped ordinary coinage from circulation almost entirely. The "F.L.R." designation identifies the issuing authority variant within Radeberg's local series.
Zinc was the compromise material of the era — cheap, available, and deeply unpopular with the public, who found it corroded quickly in pocket wear.
