| Additional information |
Viechtach is a small market town in the Bavarian Forest, and this iron notgeld piece belongs to the wave of locally issued emergency coinage that swept German municipalities from 1916 onward as wartime metal requisitions stripped copper and nickel from civilian circulation. Iron was the compromise — abundant, unglamorous, and corrosive enough that survivors in collectible condition are consistently harder to find than their original mintages might suggest.
