| Obverse description | A pearl border runs along the inner rim of the coin. The municipal coat of arms of Roth is depicted prominently in the centre: a quartered shield bearing the letter 'R' in the upper-left quarter and a crosshatched field in the remaining quarters, flanked by ornate scrolled supports and surmounted by a mural crown. The legend 'STADT ROTH B./NBG.' arcs across the upper field in Latin characters, with a six-pointed star at each lateral extremity serving as separators. |

| Additional information |
Issued in 1918 as emergency coinage — Notgeld — when the German imperial government's wartime metal requisitions had stripped copper and nickel from everyday commerce almost entirely. Roth, a small administrative town south of Nuremberg, was among hundreds of municipalities forced to produce their own stopgap currency that year. Iron was the default material by this point; earlier zinc and aluminum issues had already come and gone in the scramble for workable substitutes.
