| Reverse description | The central field features the heraldic arms of Aibling, depicting a crowned shield charged with a rampant lion, flanked by ornate baroque-style supporters and surmounted by a decorative crown. A circular legend reading 'GILTIG BIS 6 MONATE NACH FRIEDENSSCHLUSS' ('Valid until 6 months after the conclusion of peace') encircles the design along the full periphery, separated from the rim by a beaded border. A small five-pointed star serves as a punctuation stop at the base of the legend. The overall composition is typical of Bavarian municipal emergency coinage issued during the First World War. |

| Additional information |
Aibling — now Bad Aibling — issued this notgeld piece during the severe metal shortages of the final year of the First World War, when the imperial government had long since requisitioned copper and nickel for war production. Iron coinage of this type was struck by hundreds of German municipalities filling the gap left by withdrawn Reichsbank small change. The Funck reference places this among a numbered series from the district, suggesting multiple denominations were produced under the same emergency authorization.
