Additional information

Issued by the Upper Bavarian Supply Cooperative for the Shoemaker's Trade, this is notgeld in the strict functional sense — a private scrip token used internally among member craftsmen and their suppliers to settle accounts when Reichsmark coinage was either unavailable or hoarded during the severe shortages of the early 1920s. Trade cooperatives across Bavaria issued their own exchange media with enough regularity that Hasselmann's catalog dedicated substantial entries to the shoemaking guilds alone.

Nickel-plated zinc indicates wartime or immediate postwar manufacture, when copper and nickel were strategically restricted.
