| Additional information |
Lichtenau's Glückauf colliery issued iron notgeld tokens during the First World War and its aftermath, when the imperial government requisitioned copper and brass for munitions, forcing mines and industrial firms across the Ruhr and surrounding coalfields to strike emergency wages coinage in whatever base metal remained available. "Glückauf" — the traditional miners' greeting — was a common corporate name throughout German coal country, which makes attribution of undocumented specimens genuinely difficult without the Lichtenau provenance.
