50 Pfennig - Wurzach

Wurzach's 1918 zinc notgeld emerged from the same municipal desperation that drove hundreds of small German towns to issue their own emergency coinage as the Imperial war economy drained copper, nickel, and eventually zinc itself from civilian circulation. By late 1918, the central government had largely lost the ability to supply adequate small-denomination coinage to provincial towns, leaving local administrations to fill the gap however they could.

The Funck 615.4A designation places this within a documented series of Wurzach issues, suggesting the city struck multiple denominations rather than a single stopgap piece.
