History lesson, please! [решено]

I just received this coin in a trade. I don't need it identified, but if anyone could tell me a bit about its history or point me in the direction of a webpage that isn't wikipedia I'd be grateful!

did you try Google?

I did indeed try google. I wouldn't dream of posting in the forum for any information at all if I hadn't already spent the morning learning about notgeld by using google, my public library, and all the Numista data I could find. I now have a very basic and broad understanding of emergency money, why it was first produced, the timeline, and different ways to collect it. I'm hoping that a nice person on the forum will have information on the specific coin I posted, and be able to give a history on it.

Hi,
So you know about German Notgeld, which is good and the majority of the answer to your question. The only other information I can think of would be about the town where it was designated for. (I say designated, because I don't know if it was actually minted there, I assume), but the town is Worms, on the river Rhein and in the German State of Rheinland-Pfalz. On the other side of the Rhein is the State of Hessen. I assume again that Worms was part of Hessen in the years of use. The Shield is the town coat of arms, and Worms is a historic town - you can google that. The grapes would be from the wine production in the area - the banks of the river Rhein in that area are steep on both sides and some areas will get the sun all day so are covered in vineyards.
hope this helps.

I have the same in my collection:

They both have the same die cracks (right of the G and at the edge under the A of Am Rhein) and fault on the edge (below arms)

There are a few very good German-language catalogs on notgeld coins, but very few in English.

"Emergency Coins of Germany" by Upton is probably the most informative of what is available in English. It is old (circa 1970), so the values are worthless, but it will give you an idea of what is out there. The other principal English-language catalog is Lamb's " A Catalog of German War Coins", but it has less info and more photos. Since it was published in 1966, the values are worthless.

this is a good site for comparing selling values:

​It does give relative values, but that list is quite old (probably 1980s-1990s). I have done business with Joe Lang (who now works for Steve Album) and with Joel Anderson since about 1990.

The French "notgeld" section is extremely short; they are much more difficult to find in the United States. There is a newer French-language book by Elie (after Gadoury died), but I have been unable to acquire one.

For German notgeld, there is an update of the catalog by Funck that was published in 2012. It includes photos of one coin per issuer, and the full legends of each side of each coin. Although it is all in German, you do not need a translation to use it, although a German/English dictionary would help at times.

There is an English-language catalog of notgeld coins and paper by Coffing, but I have not found it to be very useful.

I find the Funck catalog very complete, and with googlee translate, it is all understandabe

Ya'll have all given valuable information. Thank you! I'll consider this solved while I research those places ya'll have named.
