| Additional information |
Weilheim's 1917 zinc notgeld was struck at the height of Germany's wartime metal crisis, when the imperial government had already requisitioned copper and nickel for munitions production. Municipal authorities across Bavaria were left to source whatever base metals remained, zinc being the least objectionable option. Weilheim's issue falls within the first systematic wave of German local emergency coinage — distinct from the more decorative collector-oriented notgeld that flooded the market after 1918.
