| Additional information |
Ahrweiler's iron notgeld pfennig issues date to the acute small-change shortage that gripped German municipalities from 1917 onward, as wartime metal requisitions stripped copper and nickel from civilian circulation entirely. Iron was the fallback — cheap, available, and deeply unpopular with the public due to rapid rusting in pocket wear. N. Mies was the local issuing merchant or authority responsible for this particular token's authorization, a common arrangement in Rhineland towns where municipal and commercial issuers operated in parallel.
