| Obverse description | Central field displays the bold numeral '1' in raised relief, positioned within a plain inner border. The circular legend reads BAYRISCHE SCHUHFABRIKEN A.-G. SCHWEINFURT-MÜNCHEN, arranged around the periphery in raised Latin capitals. The rim is decorated with a continuous row of raised beads forming an outer border. A small five-pointed star ornament appears at the base of the design, below the numeral. The overall style is typical of German wartime notgeld tokens produced during the early Weimar-era small-change shortage. |

| Additional information |
Bayrische Schuhfabriken A.-G. was a Bavarian shoe manufacturer that issued emergency currency — Notgeld — during the acute coin shortages of the early Weimar period, when small-denomination state coinage had effectively vanished from circulation. Corporate and municipal issuers stepped in to fill the gap, producing iron, zinc, and pressed-fiber pieces redeemable at their own premises. This piece is tied specifically to the Schweinfurt factory operations, a city better known today for its ball-bearing industry, which made it a primary Allied bombing target in 1943.
