50 Pfennig - Nordhalben

Nordhalben is a small municipality in Upper Franconia that issued notgeld coinage during the postwar metal shortages of 1917–1921, when the Imperial and Weimar governments repeatedly failed to supply adequate small change to local economies. Zinc was the material of necessity — copper and nickel had been requisitioned for war production, leaving municipal authorities to improvise with whatever base metals remained available.

The Funck reference places this among a documented series, but Nordhalben's output was modest even by notgeld standards.
