| Additional information |
Annener Gussstahlwerk was a steel casting works in Annen, a industrial district of Witten in Westphalia. Like hundreds of German industrial firms during the First World War, it issued its own notgeld coinage when the imperial government's wartime metal requisitions stripped everyday commerce of small change. Zinc was the practical substitute — iron and copper had military priority.
These factory tokens circulated among workers for canteen and company store transactions, rarely leaving the plant grounds.
