Additional information

Friedrich Graf held the title K.B. Hoflieferant — Königlich Bayerischer Hoflieferant, meaning Royal Bavarian Court Supplier — a designation earned through official appointment and not merely decorative. Ansbach merchants who achieved this status often issued their own small-denomination tokens during the years of acute small-change shortages in Germany, particularly around and after World War I, when Zinc displaced more valuable metals entirely.

The Hasselmann and Mennichen references both catalogue this as a notgeld-era trade token rather than an official municipal issue, placing it firmly in the private merchant category.
