| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse shares an identical design to the obverse, featuring a raised pearl border at the rim and a circular Latin legend reading MAINWERKE G.m.b.H. above and OFFENBACH A.M. below, again separated by star stops. A concentric inner pearl circle encloses the central field displaying the numeral 1. The uniform design on both faces reflects the purely functional nature of this zinc Notgeld token issued by the Mainwerke G.m.b.H. utility company of Offenbach am Main. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Offenbach's Mainwerke G.m.b.H. was a gas and waterworks utility serving the industrial Rhine-Main corridor, and like hundreds of German municipal and private enterprises between 1916 and 1921, it issued its own emergency coinage — Notgeld — when the imperial government's wartime metal requisitions stripped ordinary circulation of small denominations. Zinc was the default material precisely because copper, nickel, and brass had been redirected to the war effort.
Utility-issued Notgeld is among the least glamorous of the series, struck purely to make change for workers and local vendors rather than for collectors.
