Additional information

Ettenheim's zinc notgeld issues emerged from the same municipal desperation that swept Baden in 1917–1918, when the imperial wartime metal requisitions stripped local governments of any viable coinage stock. Zinc was the last-resort material — corrodes easily, strikes poorly, and was itself soon rationed. That this piece survived in collectible condition at all is largely because most notgeld was hoarded by contemporaries rather than spent.
