| Additional information |
Liebau, a small textile-manufacturing town in Silesia, produced a number of private emergency issues during the Notgeld period of 1917–1921, when wartime metal shortages and postwar economic disruption left municipalities and private firms issuing their own small-denomination tokens to cover the gap left by absent official coinage. H. & F. Wihard's zinc piece is a firm-issued rather than municipal token — suggesting the company used it to facilitate wage payments or in-house transactions when Reichs coinage simply wasn't available in sufficient quantities.
