1 Pfennig - München Gaswerk A.D.Dachauerstr

Municipal utility tokens of this type were issued by German city-run gas works in the late Wilhelmine and Weimar periods to facilitate small transactions — meter deposits, tip payments to fitters, or minor service charges — where official coinage was either impractical or chronically scarce. The Dachauer Strasse facility was one of Munich's principal gas distribution points, and zinc was the material of necessity: cheap, available, and never mistakable for imperial or republic coinage.
