| Additional information |
Oschatz, a small Saxon market town, produced a wave of private emergency money during the Notgeld period following World War I, when the Imperial monetary system had effectively collapsed at the local level and businesses were forced to issue their own scrip to make change. G.H. Nuster was among the private firms — likely a retailer or tradesman — that stepped in where the Reichsbank could not. Zinc was the practical choice: cheap, available, and already familiar from wartime coinage.
