| Additional information |
Uffenheim is a small Franconian market town, and its 1917 notgeld issue belongs to the first wave of municipal emergency coinage that swept German cities and towns as wartime metal requisitions stripped copper and nickel from circulation. Zinc was allocated rather than chosen — the Reichsbank had claimed priority on more useful alloys. Funck 555.1 is the primary catalogued variety for this issuer, suggesting limited die variation for what was almost certainly a small, locally-contracted striking.
