| Aanvullende informatie |
Olpe's 1920 zinc notgeld issue belongs to the wave of municipal emergency coinage that flooded Germany following the postwar metal shortages and the Allied restrictions on centralized coin production. Smaller Westphalian towns like Olpe were left to fend for themselves, contracting local or regional manufacturers to strike functional small change from whatever base metals were available.
Zinc was the unsentimental choice — cheap, workable, and already familiar from wartime substitute coinage.
