| Additional information |
Zellstofffabrik Waldhof was one of Germany's major cellulose and pulp manufacturers, and its Tilsit facility — located in what is now Sovetsk, Russia — issued this iron notgeld token in 1918 as the Reich's wartime metal requisitions gutted the supply of copper and zinc for civilian use. Factory-issued scrip of this kind served as wage tokens or canteen currency, keeping production workforces paid and fed when official small change had effectively vanished from circulation. Iron was the fallback material precisely because the military had less use for it in coinage form.
