| Additional information |
Fr. Lürssen was a major German shipbuilder based in Aumund-Vegesack, near Bremen, whose yard would later produce the S-boats of the Second World War. This zinc piece is Lagergeld — factory token coinage issued by private firms to pay workers in controlled scrip, redeemable only at company facilities. The practice was widespread in Imperial Germany and the early Weimar period, keeping wages circulating within the employer's own economic orbit. Zinc was the material of necessity; brass and copper had long been diverted to the war effort by the time most such tokens were struck.
