Waldsee's 1918 zinc notgeld emerged from the same municipal desperation that drove hundreds of small German towns to strike their own emergency coinage when wartime metal requisitions gutted the imperial supply chain. Zinc was the last practical option — copper and nickel had long since been absorbed into shell casings and military hardware.
The Funck reference places this among the documented southern Württemberg issues, a region that produced an unusually dense cluster of town-level emergency coinages in the war's final year.
