| Additional information |
Tempelburg (now Czaplinek, Poland) issued this iron notgeld piece during the acute coin shortages of World War I, when the Imperial German government had stripped copper and nickel from circulation for war production. Municipal authorities across Pomerania stepped in with locally sanctioned iron issues — not as a speculative act, but out of genuine necessity to keep commerce moving at the market level.
The Funck reference places this among the documented Pomeranian municipal issues, though iron examples from small towns like Tempelburg survive in varying condition due to the metal's susceptibility to corrosion.
