| Additional information |
Chr. Strunck & Sohn was a tannery in Sprendlingen (now part of Dreieich, Hesse), one of hundreds of German firms that issued private iron or zinc notgeld tokens during World War I when the imperial government's coin metal was redirected to the war effort and small change evaporated from circulation almost entirely. These factory-issued pieces functioned as wage tokens or canteen currency, redeemable only within the issuing firm's premises — a closed economy within a collapsing one. The Menzel catalog cross-references two die variants for this type.
