| Additional information |
Stralsund's 1917 notgeld issues emerged from the acute metal shortages that plagued German municipalities as the war consumed copper, nickel, and zinc for shell casings and industrial use. Gold pattern pieces from this program are exceptional anomalies — struck not for circulation but almost certainly as presentation or trial pieces, since issuing gold emergency coinage would have been economically absurd under wartime conditions. The Funck catalogue assigns no number, confirming this piece sits outside the documented notgeld sequence entirely.
