| Aanvullende informatie |
Kempen in Posen — today Kępno in western Poland — issued zinc notgeld during the First World War when the imperial German government requisitioned copper and nickel for war production, forcing municipalities to produce their own emergency coinage. Zinc was the compromise material: abundant, cheap, and deeply unpopular with the public, who found it corroded quickly in pocket humidity. Most surviving examples show exactly that.
