| Beschrijving keerzijde | A standing armored figure, depicted as a knight or civic guardian, is shown facing forward atop a heraldic shield bearing the arms of Traunstein. The figure holds a scythe or similar agricultural implement over the right shoulder, evoking the region's rural identity. The date 1918 is split to either side of the central device, with '19' at left and '18' at right. The field is plain and unadorned, with no legend or border inscription. The design reflects the local civic pride typical of German World War I emergency coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Traunstein's 1918 zinc notgeld was a direct product of the wartime metal requisitions that stripped German municipalities of their copper and nickel coinage — both metals redirected to armaments production. By late 1918, the Imperial government had so thoroughly drained civilian coin stocks that hundreds of Bavarian towns and districts were issuing their own emergency pieces simply to keep local commerce moving. Zinc was the fallback material of last resort, universally disliked for its brittleness and susceptibility to corrosion, which accounts for the difficulty in finding surviving examples without surface degradation.
