| Additional information |
Sonneberg issued this zinc notgeld piece in 1921 as the postwar coinage shortage continued to strangle small-denomination commerce across Thuringia. The city was then, as now, the administrative center of a district whose economy had long depended on toy manufacturing — an industry devastated by the Allied trade blockades of the war years and the subsequent collapse of export markets.
