| Additional information |
Eggenfelden is a small Bavarian market town in Lower Bavaria, and its 1921 zinc Notgeld issue belongs to the enormous wave of municipal emergency coinage struck across Germany when post-WWI metal shortages and monetary instability left local governments scrambling to fill the gap left by vanishing small change. Zinc was the material of last resort — cheap, workable, but prone to corrosion, which accounts for the difficulty in finding survivors with clean surfaces.
The Funck and Menzel references place this among a numbered series from the issuer, suggesting multiple types circulated simultaneously.
