Fürth was one of the more prolific sources of notgeld-style private emergency currency during and after the First World War, with local merchants and firms issuing small-denomination cardboard pieces to address the acute shortage of low-value coin. A. Ebersberger's 2 Pfennig piece is catalogued under the Tieste classification for Bavarian private issuers — a system that documents hundreds of such local issues, the majority of which saw only hyper-local circulation and survive in small quantities simply because they were considered worthless scraps once the shortage passed.
