| Obverse description | A pearl border frames the outer rim, enclosing a circular inner field separated by a raised ring. The municipal coat of arms of Neustadt an der Aisch occupies the center, depicting a quartered shield surmounted by a crested helm with ornate mantling. The legend STADT NEUSTADT A / AISCH arcs around the inner circle, with a five-pointed star positioned at the base of the legend as a stop. The overall design is executed in a plain, utilitarian relief typical of World War I German notgeld coinage. |

| Additional information |
Neustadt an der Aisch issued this notgeld piece in 1917 as the German Imperial government's wartime metal requisitions stripped copper and nickel from civilian coinage. Iron was the fallback for dozens of small municipalities forced to provision their own small change — the national mint simply could not meet local demand while simultaneously feeding the war machine. The specific Funck variety .4 designation typically indicates a die or edge variant within the series for this town.
