75 Pfennig - Kitzingen

Kitzingen's porcelain notgeld emerged from the acute coin shortage that gripped Germany in the early 1920s, when municipal authorities across the country scrambled to produce emergency currency from whatever materials local industry could supply. Meissen and the Thuringian porcelain factories had already demonstrated the medium's viability, and dozens of Bavarian towns followed. The brown-glazed variant of this particular issue is the scarcer of the known color types documented under the Menzel reference.
