| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field dominated by the large numeral '10' in bold relief. The circular legend 'ZUCKERFABRIK OFFSTEIN' runs along the inner border, reading clockwise from the lower left. A small five-pointed star appears at the bottom of the legend, serving as a stop mark. The coin is struck with a beaded inner border. The overall design is plain and utilitarian, consistent with German notgeld coinage of the early twentieth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Offstein's sugar factory, like hundreds of German agricultural enterprises in the early twentieth century, issued its own token currency to pay seasonal laborers — many of them migrant workers from Eastern Europe who might never visit a conventional bank. These Fabrikmarken circulated strictly within the factory's own store and canteen, effectively tying wages to company spending. The practice was controversial enough that Weimar-era labor reforms eventually curtailed it.
Nickel-plated zinc points to a post-WWI issue, when nickel alone was too scarce for small industrial tokens.
