| Reverse description | Within a beaded border, the legend KLEINGELDERSATZMARKE (small change substitute token) runs around the inner beaded circle in the upper field. The central area of the inner circle contains the numeral 1, reaffirming the token's face value. The overall design mirrors the obverse in its simple, utilitarian style typical of German wartime and postwar notgeld issues. |

| Additional information |
Max Roesler A.G. was a porcelain and earthenware manufacturer based in Rodach, Bavaria, one of hundreds of German industrial firms that issued private emergency coinage — Kriegsgeld and later Notgeld — during and after the First World War when the Imperial government failed to supply adequate small change. Zinc was the near-universal fallback once copper and nickel were requisitioned for the war effort. Factory-issued pfennig pieces like this one functioned as internal scrip, redeemable at company canteens or local cooperative stores tied to the firm.
