| Additional information |
Sarreguemines issued this zinc notgeld in 1917 as the German military's wartime metal requisitions drained copper and nickel from civilian circulation entirely. The city sits on the Franco-German border in Lorraine, a region that had been German territory since the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–71 and would revert to France in 1918 — meaning this coin was struck by an administration that ceased to exist within a year of its issue.
