10 Pfennig - Wyhlen Baden

Wyhlen is a small Rhine-border village in Baden, directly opposite the Swiss town of Rheinfelden. In 1918, as the German war economy had long since exhausted copper and nickel for civilian coinage, municipalities across Baden and the rest of the Reich issued their own zinc or iron Notgeld to keep local commerce functioning. Gemeinde Wyhlen's issue is a textbook product of that breakdown — a village administration filling a gap the imperial monetary system could no longer cover.

The Funck 617.2 attribution distinguishes this from at least one other known variety in the type.
