Jean Müller's electrical factory in Eltville am Rhein issued this zinc notgeld piece during the acute small-change shortage that gripped Germany following World War I, when municipal and private entities alike were forced to produce their own emergency coinage. Zinc was the material of necessity — copper and nickel had been consumed by the war effort, and the metals that remained were tightly controlled.
The Hasselmann reference confirms this as a recognized private issue, catalogued among the thousands of factory and municipal tokens that flooded circulation between roughly 1916 and 1923.
