10 Pfennig - Strasburg Uckermark

Strasburg in der Uckermark — not to be confused with Alsatian Strasbourg — was a small Brandenburg town that issued emergency coinage during the acute metal shortages of World War I. These iron Notgeld pieces filled the gap left by hoarded copper and nickel coins, struck under municipal authority when the imperial supply chain had effectively collapsed for small denominations.

Iron corrodes readily, and survivors in clean condition are harder to find than the mintage figures alone would suggest.
