| Additional information |
Stadtamhof was an independent Bavarian town directly across the Danube from Regensburg, and this zinc notgeld piece dates to the acute small-change shortage that gripped German municipalities from 1916 onward as metal was diverted to the war economy. Anton Knabl was almost certainly a local merchant or tradesman whose private issue circulated as emergency currency within a very confined area. Stadtamhof itself was absorbed into Regensburg in 1924, making its municipal issues a brief footnote in German administrative history.
