| Additional information |
Saalfeld's 1918 iron notgeld issue belongs to the first wave of municipal emergency coinage that swept Germany as the Imperial government requisitioned copper and nickel for war production, leaving local authorities to fill the gap with whatever base metals remained available. Iron was a poor substitute — it corroded badly in pocket wear, which is why undamaged survivors are harder to find than the original mintages suggest.
