Additional information

Bamberg's Raulino notgeld pieces belong to the wave of privately issued emergency coinage that flooded Germany between 1916 and 1921, as wartime metal shortages forced municipalities, firms, and even individual merchants to fill the gap left by disappearing official small change. Zinc was the material of necessity — copper and nickel had been requisitioned for the war effort years earlier. Raulino was almost certainly a local commercial enterprise rather than a civic authority, making this among the more ephemeral issuers in the Bamberg series.
