| Additional information |
Tuttlingen issued this notgeld piece in 1917 as the German war economy systematically stripped copper and nickel from civilian coinage — iron being the least desirable fallback. The city, a small Baden manufacturing center best known for its surgical instrument trade, had no special claim to emergency currency beyond the same municipal necessity that produced thousands of similar local issues that year. Iron notgeld from this period corrodes aggressively in anything but ideal storage conditions, which accounts for the disproportionate difficulty in finding uncirculated survivors despite modest original circulation figures.
