| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field depicts a mounted knight in armour on a rearing horse, rendered in low relief in a dynamic pose facing right, characteristic of the Mansfeld regional heraldic tradition. The split date '19' and '18' flanks the equestrian figure to the left and right respectively. Below the horse, the motto 'DENNOCH' ('Nevertheless') appears in bold capital letters across the lower field, reflecting a defiant wartime sentiment. A beaded border encircles the entire design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Mansfeldsche Gewerkschaft was one of Germany's oldest copper-mining operations, tracing continuous extraction in the Mansfeld basin back to the fifteenth century. By 1918, wartime metal requisitions had stripped Germany's coin supply so thoroughly that hundreds of industrial firms, municipalities, and cooperatives began issuing their own emergency pfennig pieces — Kriegsnotgeld — simply to make change for workers' wages. A mining company paying its own employees in company-struck zinc tokens was not unusual; it was a necessity.
Zinc was chosen precisely because copper and nickel had been commandeered for the war effort.
