50 Pfennig - Freising-München Anton Schlüter

Anton Schlüter operated an agricultural machinery business in the Freising-München region, and like thousands of German tradesmen during the post-WWI emergency currency period, resorted to privately issued Notgeld when official small change vanished from circulation entirely. Zinc was the practical choice by necessity — copper and nickel had been consumed by the war effort years earlier.

The Menzel reference numbers place this squarely in the documented Notgeld corpus, though Schlüter issues remain thinly traded outside specialist German collectors.
