10 Pfennig - München Rapp Motorenwerke

Rapp Motorenwerke was a small Munich aero-engine manufacturer that would, within a few years of issuing this token, be reorganized and renamed as Bayerische Motoren Werke — BMW — in 1917. Notgeld and factory tokens of this type circulated internally among workers during the wartime labor economy, substituting for small change that had largely vanished from circulation as the public hoarded metal coinage after 1914.

The zinc composition places this firmly in the WWI shortage period.
