| Additional information |
Goldschmidt & Loewenick was a Frankfurt wholesale textile firm, and this token belongs to the wave of privately issued emergency coinage — Kriegsgeld — that flooded German commerce after 1916, when nickel and copper disappeared from the Reichsmünzen due to wartime metal requisitions. Firms, municipalities, and cooperatives issued their own scrip to keep small transactions functioning. The nickel-plated zinc construction is itself a record of the shortage: a base metal wearing the skin of the one it replaced.
