| Obverse description | A pearl border frames the outer rim, enclosing a raised circular line that separates the circumferential Latin legend from the central device. The field within displays the quartered municipal coat of arms of Neustadt an der Aisch, featuring a crosshatched upper-left quarter and an eagle in the lower-right quarter, surmounted by a crested helm with elaborate mantling. The circular legend reading STADT NEUSTADT A / AISCH runs along the upper and lower periphery between the pearl border and the inner raised ring, with a small five-pointed star serving as a separator at the base. |

| Additional information |
Neustadt an der Aisch issued this notgeld piece in 1917 as the imperial wartime metal requisitions had stripped municipal coffers of usable coinage — zinc was among the few metals left available to smaller towns after nickel, copper, and brass were redirected to the war effort. The nickel-plated variant likely reflects an early transitional batch before the plating step was abandoned as an unnecessary cost.
