Additional information

Krumbach's 1918 zinc notgeld issue belongs to the first wave of municipally authorized emergency coinage that swept Bavaria and Württemberg as wartime metal requisitions drained official circulation entirely. By mid-1918, the Imperial government had already stripped copper and nickel from the monetary supply for munitions production, leaving smaller towns like Krumbach to improvise with whatever base materials remained available to local foundries — zinc being the least strategically valuable and therefore the least confiscated.
