| Additional information |
Jessenitz, a small village in Mecklenburg, hosted a Deutsche Futterwerke facility — a compound animal feed manufacturer — that issued its own works coinage for use in the company store or canteen. These Werksmarken (factory tokens) were a widespread German industrial practice, particularly in rural or semi-isolated production sites where workers might otherwise lack ready access to retail. Nickel-plated zinc was the material of necessity rather than preference; wartime and interwar metal restrictions made brass and copper increasingly unavailable for private token issuers.
