25 Pfennigs

Münnerstadt is a small Franconian market town, and like hundreds of similar municipalities across Germany in 1920, its Stadtrat issued low-denomination Notgeld to address the chronic shortage of small change that followed the First World War. The 25 Pfennig was the workhorse denomination of this emergency coinage wave — practical, unglamorous, and produced in enormous quantities by local printers across the country.

Münnerstadt's series is not among the rarities collectors chase. Most surviving examples were preserved by collectors at the time of issue, not salvaged from circulation.
