| Beschrijving voorzijde | Plain octagonal zinc field framed by a continuous beaded border running along all eight sides. The issuer's name appears in two bold raised lines across the upper and central field, reading CARL SCHLÖSSER, with a small decorative lozenge ornament positioned centrally below. The legend POTSDAM arcs along the lower portion of the field, completing the issuer's identification. The overall design is purely typographic, with no pictorial devices or additional ornamental elements beyond the beaded rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Carl Schlösser operated as a merchant in Potsdam during the First World War, when the German government's requisitioning of copper and nickel for munitions production created an acute shortage of small-denomination coinage. Municipalities, businesses, and private firms were permitted to issue their own emergency money — Notgeld — to fill the gap. Zinc was the material of necessity: cheap, abundant, and easily stamped in small quantities by firms with no minting infrastructure.
The Menzel reference numbers suggest two distinct catalog editions have logged this piece, indicating it circulated widely enough to survive in multiple collections.
