| Additional information |
Uerdingen's 1917 emergency coinage — Kriegsgeld issued as the Imperial government's wartime metal requisitions stripped municipal economies of copper and nickel — reflects the administrative chaos of a city scrambling to keep small transactions functional. By mid-war, dozens of Rhineland municipalities were issuing their own zinc and iron pieces, each requiring separate approval from local authorities that grew increasingly perfunctory as the requests multiplied.
The Funck reference places this among the better-documented Notgeld types from the lower Rhine, with the .2A suffix indicating a confirmed die variant within the series.
