| Additional information |
Busendorf — known today as Bouzonville, in the Moselle department of northeastern France — was part of the German Reich from 1871 until 1918, the period during which this token was issued. The Lothringer Walzengiesserei was a roller foundry serving the heavy industrial demands of the Lorraine iron district. Zinc notgeld of this type was produced to address chronic small-change shortages that afflicted German industrial communities during the First World War, when copper and nickel were requisitioned for munitions.
