| Beschrijving voorzijde | The hexagonal iron field displays the civic arms of Werne an der Lippe at centre, comprising a shield charged with wavy lines above a diaper pattern, with two armorial supporters — a dog to the left and a horn to the right — flanking the base. Above the shield stands a robed figure of Saint Christophorus carrying a flowering branch, with a smaller figure of the Christ Child rendered above his shoulder in high relief. A circular legend in Fraktur blackletter script arcs around the upper portion of the field, reading 'Kleingeld d. Stadt Werne a/d L.', while the date '1920' is inscribed below the shield, divided by the supporters. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Werne an der Lippe issued this iron notgeld piece in 1920 as the postwar coinage shortage left German municipalities scrambling to produce their own small-denomination currency. Iron had been a wartime substitute material, and many cities continued using it into the early Weimar period simply because the infrastructure for striking it was already in place. Werne, a small Westphalian coal-mining town, had neither the resources nor the prestige of larger issuing cities — its notgeld series is modest and largely utilitarian in ambition.
The Funck reference places this within a documented local series, though surviving examples in unworn condition are uncommon given iron's susceptibility to oxidation.
