Along the lower arc runs the inscription KRIEGSMÜNZE 1919, identifying this as a wartime emergency coin with its year of issue. The reverse is framed by a beaded inner border consistent with the obverse treatment, and the field is otherwise plain, lending prominence to the typographic elements. |

| Additional information |
Neckarsulm's 1919 notgeld issue belongs to the first wave of municipal emergency coinage struck in the immediate aftermath of Germany's defeat and the collapse of centralized monetary infrastructure. The Stadtgemeinde, a small industrial town in Württemberg best known at the time as the home of NSU's bicycle and early motorcycle works, issued zinc pieces because copper, nickel, and iron were either requisitioned or simply unavailable in usable quantities after four years of wartime metal rationing.
The Funck 357.4 designation places this among multiple die varieties documented for the type — collectors should confirm the specific reverse die state against Menzel's expanded listings before attributing.
