| Beschrijving voorzijde | A fine pearl (beaded) border encircles the central device, which consists of the municipal coat of arms of Lützen: a shield bearing a draped female figure, surmounted by a mural crown with battlements. The circular Latin legend MAGISTRAT LUETZEN runs along the periphery, separated at the base by a small ornamental rosette. The overall design reflects the municipal authority issuing this wartime emergency coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lützen issued zinc notgeld during the early 1920s as the Weimar-era coin shortage forced municipalities across Germany to produce their own emergency coinage. Zinc was the compromise material of necessity — harder to strike cleanly than iron, cheaper than aluminium, and deeply unpopular with the public who associated it with the wartime substitute coinage that had preceded it.
The Funck reference places this among the documented municipal issues, though Lützen is better known to historians for the 1632 battle in which Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden was killed.
