| Beschrijving voorzijde | A raised pearl border encircles the entire obverse field. Within, the circular legend STADTGEMEINDE ★ ELBING ★ in raised Latin capitals runs along the periphery, separated from the central device by a rope-twist inner circle. The central device displays the municipal coat of arms of Elbing: a divided shield bearing a plain cross in the upper half and a lozengy (diamond-patterned) lower half with an anchor-like charge, rendered in relief against the flat field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Elbing's iron notgeld emerged from the same wartime metal shortage that stripped German municipalities of their copper and nickel coinage — both metals redirected to shell casings and military hardware after 1915. By 1918, dozens of West Prussian towns were issuing locally sanctioned emergency pfennig pieces in iron, zinc, or pressed cardboard just to keep small transactions functioning.
Elbing itself was a Hanseatic-era port city on the Nogat delta, absorbed into the German Reich after the 1871 unification but with a civic identity stretching back to Teutonic Knight settlement in 1237. It would cease to exist as a German city entirely after February 1945.
