Comment
The circulation value is not known. They may be "Brotmarken" that were put into circulation in 1916 and were recognized as Notgeld.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Konitz (Westpreußen) ND (1916) from German notgeld (Germany) made of Iron weighing 2.6 g is that it was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany during World War I. The coin was made of iron, which was a cheaper alternative to traditional metals like silver or gold, and it was designed to be used as a substitute for the regular currency that was in short supply at the time. The use of iron as a material for coins was a common practice during this period, as it was abundant, durable, and easy to work with. Despite its humble origins, this coin has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
