Complete catalog of all emergency coins issued between 1916 and 1923
The standard catalog from Dr. Arnold Keller and Walter Funck fundamentally revised and expanded

After the outbreak of the First World War, first the copper 1 and 2 pfennig coins and later the nickel 5 and 10 pfennig coins were taken out of circulation and used for the production of war material.

The municipalities and cities tried to remedy this significant shortage of small change by first issuing paper emergency money from 1915 onwards. Since paper money quickly wore out and became unsightly, the first communities began to put metal emergency money into circulation at the end of 1916. These so-called small change replacement stamps in official parlance were initially only tolerated and from the beginning of 1917 had to be officially approved by the responsible district offices under certain conditions.

In order to distinguish the emergency coins from the imperial coins, external characteristics such as size, shape or perforation were specified. In addition, the issuing offices had to deposit collateral equal to the issue amount in the form of securities (mostly war bonds) at the local Reichsbank branches.
