Additional information

Weilburg's 1917 zinc notgeld emerged from the same wartime metal shortage that gutted Germany's coinage infrastructure — copper and nickel had been systematically redirected to munitions production, leaving municipal authorities across the Reich to fill the gap with whatever base metals remained. Hundreds of German towns issued their own emergency coinage that year, but the surviving catalog references for this piece suggest limited striking numbers typical of a small Lahn valley administrative center with no major industrial base to draw on.
