| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within a beaded border, the circular field features a detailed depiction of the city gate of Weißenfels, rendered as a fortified stone gatehouse with two flanking towers surmounted by pointed turrets and a central arched gateway. Superimposed at the top of the gate is the municipal coat of arms of Weißenfels, displaying a lion passant on a shield. The circular Latin legend MAGISTRAT DER STADT WEISSENFELS runs around the periphery, separated by a small cross ornament, with the inscription reading upward from the lower left. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Weißenfels issued this iron notgeld piece in 1918 as the German war economy had stripped copper, nickel, and zinc from municipal coinage entirely. Iron was the last resort — cheap, abundant, and deeply unpopular with the public, who understood exactly what it signaled about the state of the Reich's reserves. Many towns across Saxony-Anhalt issued similar emergency pieces that year, but survival rates vary considerably; iron corrodes aggressively in circulation, and lightly used examples in sound condition are not the rule.
