| Additional information |
Schlawe (now Sławno, Poland) issued this iron notgeld piece during the acute metal shortages of World War I, when imperial authorities had stripped conventional coinage metals for war production. Municipal issues like this one filled the resulting vacuum in small-denomination circulation. Iron was the pragmatic substitute — cheap, available, and deeply unglamorous.
The Funck reference places this among the catalogued Pommern municipal issues, a region that produced a notably dense cluster of iron notgeld relative to its population size.
