| Additional information |
Sinzig's 1917 zinc notgeld issue belongs to the first wave of municipal emergency coinage that flooded Germany after the Imperial government requisitioned copper and nickel for war production. Cities and towns were left to devise their own small-change solutions, with results varying wildly in quality and denomination logic. Sinzig, a small Rhenish town at the confluence of the Ahr and Rhine, had no minting infrastructure and contracted production out — as most municipalities did.
The Funck 502.2A designation indicates a catalogued die variant within the Sinzig series, suggesting at least minor production runs from differing dies.
