| Additional information |
Gnadenfrei — now Pilawa Górna in southwestern Poland — was a Moravian Brethren settlement founded in the 1740s, later absorbed into Silesian industrial life. Zimmermann's ironworks issued this notgeld token during the post-WWI shortage of small coinage, when the German imperial mint system had collapsed and local employers routinely produced their own exchange media to pay workers and keep commerce moving within factory communities. Iron was the material of necessity, not choice.
