| Additional information |
Josef Hermann operated one of Mannheim's better-documented private token issuing operations during the World War I notgeld period, when the German imperial government's requisitioning of copper and nickel left municipal and commercial issuers scrambling for substitute coinage. Zinc was the pragmatic fallback — cheap, workable, and strategically unimportant enough to escape confiscation. The Hasselmann reference confirms this as a cataloged variety, distinguishing it from the more numerous unsigned or poorly attributed Mannheim zinc pieces of the same period.
