| Additional information |
Partenkirchen issued its own emergency coinage in 1917 as the German war economy systematically stripped copper and nickel from civilian circulation for munitions production. These municipal zinc pieces — issued by towns, communes, and even private firms across the Reich — are cataloged collectively as Kriegsgeld, the improvised small change of a country consuming itself from within.
