| Additional information |
Marktheidenfeld is a small Bavarian market town on the Main river, and this 1918 iron piece is a product of the acute small-change shortage that gripped Germany as the war economy consumed copper and nickel. Municipal and district authorities across the Reich were left to issue their own Kleingeldersatz — substitute small change — with minimal central oversight. The Kommunalverband, a local administrative body rather than a city government proper, was among hundreds of such entities that stepped in to fill the vacuum.
The Funck catalogue remains the primary reference for these Bavarian district issues, and the .1 suffix here denotes the first die variant recorded for this type.
