| Additional information |
Gotthelf Heimann & Co. was a metal goods manufacturer in Halle an der Saale that issued notgeld coinage during the acute small-change shortage that gripped Germany in the early 1920s. Private firms, transit operators, and municipalities across the country were authorized to produce their own subsidiary coinage when the Reichsbank could no longer keep fractional denominations in circulation — zinc was the expedient material of the moment, cheap and easily stamped.
