Additional information

Rothenburg's 1921 iron Pfennig issue belongs to the sprawling German Notgeld phenomenon — emergency municipal coinage struck as the Reichsbank's postwar monetary system fractured under reparations pressure and metal shortages. Rothenburg, never an industrial center, had little claim to a mint tradition; these pieces were almost certainly contracted out to a commercial die-cutter rather than struck locally. The Funck 453.7b designation distinguishes this from closely related die variants in the same series, a distinction that matters to specialists working the notgeld niche.
