| Additional information |
Münsterberg — today Ziębice in southwestern Poland — issued this notgeld piece during the postwar currency chaos that left German municipal savings banks scrambling to produce small-denomination coinage when central supplies collapsed. Iron was the material of necessity, not preference; by 1921 aluminum and zinc were already contested resources, and most Silesian towns that issued notgeld in this period simply used whatever the local metalworks could supply.
The Stadtsparkasse, not the municipal government itself, was the issuing authority — an administrative distinction that affected legal tender status and redemption obligations under Weimar-era emergency coinage regulations.
