10 Pfennig - Wohlau

Wohlau — today Wołów in Lower Silesia — issued this iron notgeld piece in 1918 as the German imperial economy buckled under wartime metal requisitioning. By that point, copper and nickel had been systematically stripped from circulation for munitions production, forcing hundreds of municipal savings banks to fill the void with emergency coinage in whatever base material remained available. Iron was the default answer across Silesia that year.

Funck 608.2 B designates a specific die variant within the Wohlau municipal series — not a generic attribution.
