1 Pfennig - Berlin Alexanderwerk A. von dern Nahmer A.G

Alexanderwerk A. von der Nahmer A.G. was a Berlin-based machinery manufacturer, and like many German industrial firms during the notgeld period following World War I, it issued its own emergency pfennig coinage when small-denomination currency became functionally unavailable. Factory and company tokens of this type circulated internally — often redeemable at company canteens or stores — filling a gap the Reichsbank could not. Zinc was the material of necessity, not preference.
