| Additional information |
Gewerkschaft Hüpstedt was a potash mining cooperative operating in the Eichsfeld district of Thuringia, and like many German industrial operations of the early twentieth century, it issued its own token coinage for use in the company store — a closed economic system that kept wages cycling back to the employer. Zinc was the material of wartime and austerity; its use here almost certainly dates this piece to the First World War period, when copper and nickel were requisitioned for munitions and private issuers were forced to substitute whatever was available.
The Menzel reference numbers suggest two catalogued die variants for this denomination.
