10 Pfennigs - Gosslershausen A. Conitzer

Gosslershausen was a small Jewish-owned estate and agricultural operation in the Prussian province of Posen. Conitzer family enterprises issued notgeld-style labor tokens of this type during the early twentieth century, likely to manage wages for seasonal workers in a region where small-denomination coinage was chronically undersupplied. Zinc was the material of necessity — cheap, locally workable, and abundant during and after the First World War when copper and nickel were diverted to military production.

The Hasselmann reference places this firmly within the documented corpus of German private agricultural tokens, a category that remains poorly cataloged outside specialist circles.
