| Beschrijving voorzijde | An oak leaf wreath frames the central field, surmounted by two crossed iron-working hammers, symbolizing the industrial character of the municipality. The legend GEMEINDE ALGRINGEN arcs along the lower portion of the wreath within a beaded border encircling the entire design. The overall composition is rendered in low relief against a plain field, in the utilitarian style characteristic of German Notgeld coinage of the World War I era. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Algringen — the German wartime name for Algrange, a small iron-and-steel commune in Lorraine — issued this zinc notgeld during the First World War when the nickel and copper normally used for small change had been entirely diverted to munitions production. Zinc was the fallback across hundreds of German and occupied municipalities, and the resulting coins corroded badly in circulation, which is why undamaged survivors are harder to find than the catalog references might suggest.
