10 Pfennig - Walldorf Peter Vinson

Peter Vinson operated a business in Walldorf that issued this zinc notgeld piece during the acute small-change shortage of the early 1920s, when municipal authorities and private firms alike were authorized — or simply compelled by circumstances — to produce their own emergency coinage. Zinc was the metal of necessity: copper and nickel had been largely consumed by wartime industrial demand, and whatever remained was tightly controlled.

The Menzel reference numbers suggest two separate catalog editions documented this piece, occasionally indicating minor die or planchet variants between recorded specimens.
