| Additional information |
Glasfabrik Schildhorst was a glassworks operating near Freden an der Leine in Lower Saxony, and like many German industrial firms during the acute metal and currency shortages of World War I and its aftermath, it issued its own emergency coinage — Werksgeld or factory money — redeemable only within the company's own economic sphere. Zinc was the pragmatic choice when copper and nickel were being diverted to the war effort. These tokens circulated among workers in lieu of small change, typically accepted at the company store or canteen.
