| Additional information |
Leonhardt Söhne was a brass foundry in Crossen an der Oder — the same industrial base that made such firms natural candidates for emergency currency production during the acute coin shortages of World War I. This piece is Kriegsgeld in the strictest sense: privately issued notgeld authorized at the municipal or corporate level to keep small transactions moving when imperial coinage had been hoarded or melted.
Zinc was the material of necessity, not preference.
