| Additional information |
Worms issued zinc notgeld in 1918 as the Imperial German government's wartime requisitioning of copper and nickel left municipal authorities scrambling to fill the small-denomination void. Zinc was the last-resort substitute — harder to strike cleanly, prone to corrosion, and never intended for long circulation. Most pieces from this issue survived in reasonable condition simply because they were hoarded or retired quickly once the emergency passed.
