| Beschrijving keerzijde | Within a beaded border, a full-length frontal figure of Saint Rupertus (Rupert of Salzburg) is depicted in high relief, vested in episcopal robes and mitre, holding a crozier in his right hand and a salt barrel in his left — his traditional iconographic attributes referencing both his saintly office and Laufen's salt industry. The circular Latin legend 'RVPERTI WIN KEL' surrounds the figure, distributed across the upper and lower field. The medieval stylization of the effigy reflects Karl Goetz's characteristic medievalizing aesthetic employed across his Notgeld issues. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued in 1918 by the District of Laufen in Upper Bavaria, this iron notgeld piece belongs to the desperate final year of the First World War, when the German imperial government had stripped civilian circulation of all copper, nickel, and brass for munitions production. Hundreds of municipalities were left to provision their own small change. Iron was the compromise — cheap, available, and thoroughly unloved by the public, who hoarded anything better.
Laufen's issue is catalogued under Funck 277.6, placing it among the more obscure Bavarian district emissions. Iron notgeld of this period corrodes aggressively; uncorroded survivors are the exception.
