| Additional information |
Meuselwitz, in the Thuringian lignite belt, was a center of open-cast and underground coal extraction in the early twentieth century. Otto Zänglein's civil engineering firm serviced that industry, and like many German industrial employers of the Kaiserreich and early Weimar period, issued zinc notgeld tokens to pay workers when small-denomination Reichsmark coinage was hoarded or unavailable. Zinc was the material of necessity — cheap, locally workable, and already familiar from wartime coinage.
