| Additional information |
B.H. Mayer's of Pforzheim was primarily a manufacturer of medals, decorations, and jewelry insignia — not a mint in any governmental sense. This piece is a privately struck advertising or sample token, produced by the firm to demonstrate its own striking capabilities to prospective clients. Pforzheim's position as Germany's center of jewelry and precision metalwork made it a natural home for such enterprises, with Mayer's supplying everything from military orders to municipal commemoratives throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
