| Beschrijving voorzijde | Octagonal zinc notgeld token with a beaded inner border enclosing a central heraldic shield bearing a displayed eagle — the civic arms of Buchsweiler. The legend STADT BUCHSWEILER U. E. curves around the upper and lateral periphery within a second beaded border, flanked by decorative rosette stops, while the date 1917 appears prominently at the base of the coin in raised numerals. The overall design is struck in low relief with a utilitarian wartime aesthetic typical of German municipal emergency coinage. |

Buchsweiler — the German name for what is today Bouxwiller in Alsace — issued this notgeld piece in 1917 when the wartime metal requisitions had stripped conventional coinage from circulation almost entirely. Zinc was itself a compromise material; copper and nickel had been redirected to shell casings and military hardware well before this was struck. Municipal authorities across the German Reich were effectively left to solve the small-change crisis on their own.
Alsace's status as a Reichsland — neither a proper German state nor French territory after 1871 — meant its civic administrations operated under a particular administrative hybrid that complicated even routine financial matters.
