| Beschrijving voorzijde | A continuous pearl border encircles the field, within which the municipal coat of arms of Sonthofen is displayed centrally, divided per pale: the dexter half bearing a stylized grain stalk or plant motif, and the sinister half horizontally striated and charged with a crossed hammer and pick. The date is split to either side of the shield, with '19' at left and '17' at right. The legend 'MARKTGEMEINDE' curves along the upper arc and 'SONTHOFEN' along the lower arc, both in raised Latin capitals between the pearl border and the central device. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sonthofen's 1917 zinc Pfennig notgeld emerged from the same wartime metal shortage that stripped copper and nickel from civilian coinage across the Reich. By mid-1917, the imperial government had already requisitioned most non-ferrous metals for munitions, forcing hundreds of German municipalities to issue their own emergency currency. Sonthofen — then a small market town in the Bavarian Allgäu — was among the smaller issuers, which keeps surviving examples relatively scarce compared to output from larger industrial cities.
The Funck 512.2 designation distinguishes this from at least one other variant in the Sonthofen series.
