Selb issued this notgeld piece in 1918 as the German imperial coinage system buckled under wartime metal requisitions. Zinc was the fallback material across hundreds of municipal issues that year — copper and nickel had been redirected to armaments production since 1915. Selb itself was a porcelain manufacturing town in Upper Franconia, and its civic administration, like dozens of others, was left to solve the small-change shortage independently.
