BASF issued this token in 1918 as Germany's wartime metal shortages stripped conventional coinage from circulation. The company — already the largest chemical manufacturer in the world by that point and a central supplier of explosives and synthetic nitrogen for the German war effort — needed small-denomination scrip to pay workers at its Ludwigshafen plant. Zinc was itself a strategic material, which makes the choice of composition here notable; by late 1918, even notgeld issuers were being pushed toward iron and compressed coal dust.
