Additional information

The Blei- & Silberhütte Braubach was a lead and silver smelting operation on the Rhine, processing ore brought down from the Erzgebirge and local Rhenish mines. Like many German industrial works of the nineteenth century, it issued its own small-denomination tokens to manage wages and company-store transactions among its workforce — zinc being the obvious material choice given what the smelter handled daily. The irony of a silver works paying its men in zinc pfennigs was apparently lost on no one.
