| Beschrijving voorzijde | Solid raised line rim encircles the field. At center, the Münchner Kindl — the traditional heraldic child figure of Munich — is depicted standing frontally, arms outstretched wide, clad in a long monastic habit with prominent drapery folds. The circular legend STADT MÜNCHEN runs along the upper periphery in incuse Latin capitals. A round hole pierces the lower field, characteristic of this notgeld issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Munich's Volksküchen — public soup kitchens — issued their own small-denomination tokens during the hardship years of World War I and its aftermath, when municipal authorities across Germany scrambled to organize food distribution as civilian supply chains collapsed. This zinc piece functioned as a meal-credit token rather than conventional currency, redeemable within the Volksküchen network rather than in general commerce. Zinc was the expedient choice: copper and nickel had been commandeered for the war effort by 1916.
