| Additional information |
Weidenbach-Triesdorf lies in Middle Franconia, and this iron notgeld token is almost certainly a product of the acute small-change shortage that gripped Germany from roughly 1916 onward, when metal coinage disappeared from circulation as the war economy consumed copper, nickel, and zinc. Pharmacies occasionally issued their own emergency tokens to facilitate local transactions — a pharmacy's inherent community role made it a natural clearinghouse for such instruments. Iron was the material of last resort, and its corrosion susceptibility means survivors in undamaged condition are genuinely scarce.
