| Additional information |
Gnadenfrei — known today as Pilawa Górna in southwestern Poland — was a Silesian textile manufacturing village with deep Moravian Brethren roots. The Zimmermann firm issued this iron notgeld token almost certainly during or immediately after World War I, when acute small-change shortages forced hundreds of German industrial employers to mint their own emergency coinage for wage payments and company store transactions. Iron was the practical wartime substitute once nickel and copper were redirected to munitions.
