Riesenburg — today Prabuty in northern Poland — issued this zinc notgeld piece in 1917 as German municipal authorities scrambled to replace hoarded copper and nickel coinage that had largely vanished from circulation within the first three years of the war. The Imperial government had authorized local bodies to fill the gap, producing a chaotic patchwork of emergency issues whose legal tender status varied from one town to the next.
The Funck 448.2 designation indicates a distinct variety within the Riesenburg 10 Pfennig type — likely a die or edge differentiation from the primary 448.1 listing.
