| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within a beaded border, the Trier city coat of arms is depicted centrally, showing a crowned standing figure of Saint Peter, the city's patron saint, robed and holding a key in his right hand and a book in his left, flanked by the arms of a large cross. The city name is inscribed in two parts flanking the arms, reading STADT to the left and TRIER to the right, with a small six-pointed star and a larger five-pointed star serving as decorative separators. The overall design follows the heraldic tradition of municipal German notgeld coinage of the First World War period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Trier's municipal coinage of 1917 belongs to the broader Kriegsgeld phenomenon — German cities and towns issuing their own small-denomination tokens as the imperial coinage system collapsed under wartime metal requisitioning. Zinc was adopted precisely because copper, nickel, and aluminum had all been redirected to munitions production by that point in the war. Trier, sitting in the Rhineland and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Germany, had both the civic infrastructure and the commercial need to fill the vacuum left by the retreating Reichsmünze supply.
