| Additional information |
Offenburg issued this iron notgeld piece in 1918 as the German military's demand for copper and nickel had stripped municipal authorities of any practical alternative. Iron was corroding in circulation almost immediately, which explains why clean, uncorroded survivors are genuinely scarce. The two Funck varieties (403.2A and 403.2B) are distinguished by die differences rather than any change in issuing authority or circumstance — both struck under the same wartime emergency.
