| Additional information |
Stotz & Cie. was a major electrical supply wholesaler founded in Mannheim in 1859, and by the early twentieth century operated facilities large enough to necessitate their own token coinage for worker canteen or company store transactions — a common practice among German industrial firms during the chronic small-change shortages that plagued the Wilhelmine and early Weimar periods. Zinc was the material of necessity, not preference, reflecting wartime and postwar metal constraints.
