Marburg's 1919 iron Pfennig issues belong to the vast wave of German municipal Notgeld produced as the central government lost its grip on small-denomination coinage during and after the First World War. Iron was a wartime concession material — copper and nickel had been redirected to military production years earlier — and by 1919 cities were still striking in it simply because nothing better was available or sanctioned.
Marburg an der Lahn, a university town in Hesse-Nassau, issued several Notgeld denominations through this period. The Funck and Menzel references confirm this piece within a documented local series, though individual piece survival varies considerably across the denominations.
