| Additional information |
Dietesheim is a small Hessian village — now a district of Mühlheim am Main — and its Bürgerverein (civic association) issued this token as local scrip, almost certainly during the emergency currency period following World War I when municipal and private organizations across Germany produced their own substitutes for scarce official coinage. Nickel-plated zinc was the workaround material of the era: real nickel had been diverted to the war effort years earlier, and this composite was the practical compromise available to small issuers with no mint contracts.
