| Additional information |
Wollin — today Wolin, on the Polish island of the same name in the Oder estuary — issued this zinc notgeld piece in 1919 during the acute small-change famine that followed Germany's wartime coin hoarding and postwar economic disruption. Hundreds of German municipalities struck their own emergency coinage that year, but Wollin's issues are among the less-documented Baltic coastal examples. Zinc was the material of necessity: copper and nickel had been diverted to military production since 1915, and postwar metal supply chains remained broken well into 1919.
