| Additional information |
Leonhardwerke A.G. was a lignite briquette manufacturer operating in Zipsendorf, a coal-mining district in Saxony-Anhalt. This piece is Kriegsgeld — emergency money issued by private industrial firms when the imperial government's wartime metal requisitions stripped the Reich of sufficient coinage to keep workers paid. By 1918, zinc itself was a strategic material, making even these ersatz tokens a minor concession from the war economy.
