| Additional information |
Gebr. Böhler & Co. was a major Austrian-founded steel conglomerate that established significant works in Ratibor, Upper Silesia — a region whose industrial output made it contested ground during the 1921 plebiscite between Germany and Poland. Factory-issued notgeld like this zinc piece served as small-change substitutes during the acute coin shortages of the early Weimar period, circulating exclusively within the issuing plant's workforce and company-controlled stores.
