Wacker & Doerr operated a distillery in Niederramstadt, a small village in Hesse, and issued this zinc token during the acute small-change shortage that gripped Germany in the early Weimar period. Municipal and private notgeld filled the gap when federal coinage disappeared from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply insufficient to meet local demand. Zinc was the material of last resort, cheap and workable but prone to corrosion, which explains why surviving examples in decent condition are harder to find than the original mintages might suggest.
