Additional information

Nagold's 1918 zinc notgeld issue belongs to the enormous wave of emergency municipal coinage that flooded southern Germany as the Imperial war economy collapsed — metal shortages had stripped conventional coin production to near nothing, and local administrative bodies were legally authorized to fill the gap. Amtskörperschaft Nagold was a district-level administrative unit in Württemberg, and its issues are among the more obscure of the Baden-Württemberg notgeld series. Zinc was chosen not by preference but by elimination; copper and nickel had been requisitioned for armaments production years earlier.
