| Additional information |
Trossingen issued this notgeld piece in 1918 as the German Imperial coinage system buckled under wartime metal requisitioning — zinc, aluminum, and iron replaced copper and nickel across hundreds of municipal emergency issues that year. Trossingen is a small Baden town, best known today as the home of the Hohner harmonica factory, and its wartime finances were correspondingly modest.
The Funck 550.2 designation indicates a die variety within the type, distinguished from 550.1 by minor reverse differences catalogued by Fritz Funck in his standard reference on German notgeld coinage.
