1 Pfennig - Burghausen an der Salzach Wacker Chemie

Wacker Chemie established its Burghausen facility in 1914 on the banks of the Salzach, eventually growing it into one of the largest contiguous chemical plant complexes in the world. Like many large German industrial employers of the early-to-mid twentieth century, Wacker issued notgeld-style factory tokens — pfennig denominations in iron — to manage small change internally, a practice that became especially common during and after both world wars when Reichsbank coinage was unreliable in supply. The Hasselmann catalogue documents Burghausen issues across multiple denominations.
