| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central Iron Cross (Eisernes Kreuz) design with alternating hatched and plain triangular segments radiating from the center, forming a cross patée-style motif. The word 'Vereinigte' is inscribed horizontally across the center arm of the cross in raised letters, with a second instance reading vertically in the field. The peripheral legend 'KUKUK EXCELSIOR' arcs around the upper portion of the coin, while 'D.W. STERN' appears along the lower margin, all within the octagonal border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Vereinigte Kukuk Excelsior was a Berlin-based umbrella and walking-stick manufacturer that issued notgeld tokens during the acute small-change shortage that gripped Germany in the early 1920s. Private firms across the country filled the gap left by insufficient official coinage, producing their own zinc and iron pieces redeemable at their own premises — a stopgap that the Reichsbank tolerated rather than sanctioned.
The Hasselmann reference places this squarely in the documented corpus of Berlin commercial notgeld, catalogued well after most of these tokens had disappeared from circulation.
