| Beschrijving voorzijde | Octagonal iron notgeld piece with a beaded inner border following the octagonal outline. The denomination numeral '50' dominates the central field in large raised figures, enclosed within an ornate four-lobed cartouche formed by interlocking curved bands. The issuer's name is distributed across the design, with 'KREIS' inscribed above the central cartouche and the syllables 'LAU' and 'TER' flanking the numeral on either side, while 'BACH' appears below, together spelling 'KREIS LAUTERBACH'. Small six-pointed star ornaments appear in the corners of the field between the lobes and the beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued in 1918 by the District of Lauterbach in Hesse, this is a product of Germany's wartime Notgeld emergency — a system that forced hundreds of local authorities, municipalities, and even private firms to mint their own small-denomination coins when the central government's metal coinage essentially disappeared from circulation. Iron was the fallback precisely because copper, nickel, and zinc had been requisitioned for the war effort, leaving local administrations scrambling for whatever ferrous scrap the foundries could still process.
The Funck and Menzel references both catalogue this type, suggesting it saw enough distribution to be systematically documented by early Notgeld specialists.
