| Additional information |
Erdmannsdorf Aktiengesellschaft was a German textile manufacturer operating in Erdmannsdorf (now Erdmannsdorf-Flöha, Saxony), and like hundreds of industrial firms during the First World War, it issued its own notgeld coinage when the Imperial government's metal requisitions stripped circulation of small change almost entirely. Zinc was the material of necessity — copper and nickel had been redirected to the war effort by 1916, leaving municipalities and private companies to fill the gap with whatever base metal remained available.
