5 Pfennig - Feucht

Feucht is a small market town southeast of Nuremberg, and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1917, it issued emergency coinage — Notgeld — when wartime metal requisitions and hoarding stripped circulation of federal small change. Zinc was the fallback material once copper and nickel were redirected to the war effort. The Funck reference places this among the documented series, but municipal zinc pieces from towns of Feucht's size were produced in limited quantities and saw genuine local use rather than collector distribution.
