| Additional information |
Tremessen — known in Polish as Trzemeszno — was a small town in the Posen region, transferred from Prussian to Polish administration in 1920 under the Treaty of Versailles. This zinc notgeld piece dates to the acute small-change shortage of the early Weimar period, when hundreds of German municipalities briefly assumed the authority to issue their own emergency coinage. Zinc was the expedient choice: cheap, available, and already familiar from wartime German coinage.
The two catalogue variants under Men18#31450 likely reflect minor die differences rather than separate issuing events.
