| Additional information |
Produced under the joint Allied Control Council as Germany's occupation currency began fracturing along Cold War lines, these zinc pieces were struck at multiple German mints simultaneously — an administrative arrangement that was already becoming untenable. The London Conference of 1948 and the subsequent currency reform of June that year rendered this issue obsolete almost immediately, with the Deutschmark replacing occupation coinage across the Western zones within months of the last pieces being struck.
