| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features a pearl border encircling the entire coin, with the circular legend MAGISTRAT DER KREISSTADT GOSTYN running between the outer pearl rim and an inner pearl circle. Flanking the date 1917 at the base of the legend are two six-pointed stars. Within the inner pearl circle, the civic coat of arms of Gostyn is depicted as a fortified city gate with twin flanking towers and a central arched passage, rendered in low relief. Below the gate, a decorative foliate scroll ornament separates the coat of arms from the date. The overall design is characteristic of German World War I Notgeld emergency coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gostyn — Polish Gostyń — was under German administration as part of the Province of Posen when this piece was issued. The iron composition reflects the acute metal shortages of 1917, when copper and nickel had been largely commandeered for war production, forcing hundreds of German municipal authorities to issue their own emergency coinage, Kriegsgeld, in iron or zinc. Gostyń would revert to Polish sovereignty just over a year later following the Greater Poland Uprising of late 1918.
