| Additional information |
Rathenower Dampfmühlen A.G. was one of hundreds of German industrial firms that issued zinc notgeld pfennigs during the acute small-change shortages of 1916–1922, when wartime metal requisitions stripped circulation of copper and nickel coinage almost entirely. Factory-issued tokens like this one functioned as wage scrip redeemable only at company-affiliated canteens or shops, tethering workers' purchasing power directly to their employer.
