| Additional information |
Furth im Wald is a small Bavarian border town whose notgeld issues emerged from the acute coin shortages that gripped Germany from around 1917 onward, as metal requisitioning stripped circulation of small denominations. Zinc was the material of necessity — copper and nickel had long since been redirected to the war effort.
The Funck reference places this squarely within the documented municipal emergency coinage corpus, though Furth im Wald's output was modest compared to larger Bavarian cities.
