| Additional information |
By 1915, German monetary authorities were scrambling to replace disappearing copper and nickel coinage hoarded or melted under wartime pressure. This iron pattern represents one of several experimental responses to that crisis — tested but ultimately not adopted in this specific configuration. The small shield variety distinguishes it from the contemporaneous large shield iron issues that did enter production, making this piece a transitional dead end rather than a precursor.
