| Additional information |
Znin (Żnin in Polish) was a predominantly Polish district within the Prussian province of Posen — a region Berlin had absorbed during the 18th-century partitions and never fully pacified culturally. This notgeld was issued in 1918 as the imperial supply chain collapsed under wartime metal requisitioning, forcing hundreds of German districts to produce emergency coinage independently. Within months of this piece's issue, the armistice and the subsequent Treaty of Versailles transferred the district to the newly reconstituted Polish state, making the administrative authority that struck it functionally extinct before the iron had properly worn.
