| Aanvullende informatie |
Pirmasens issued this zinc notgeld piece in 1917 as German municipal authorities scrambled to plug a coin shortage caused by wartime metal requisitioning — copper and nickel had been diverted to military production, leaving small-denomination circulation effectively gutted. The city's shoe manufacturing industry, which had supplied boots to the German military throughout the war, made Pirmasens a logistical priority, and reliable small change mattered in a factory-town economy running multiple daily wage transactions.
Zinc was a compromise material, prone to oxidation and warping in circulation. Many survivors show edge corrosion precisely because the alloy was never suited to hard daily use.
