| Comments |
Friedrich Heinrich was one of the major Ruhr collieries, sunk from 1912 onward in the Niederrhein coalfield near Kamp-Lintfort. By 1917, the wartime coin famine — caused by hoarding and the withdrawal of base metal coinage for munitions production — had pushed hundreds of German industrial firms to issue their own small-denomination Notgeld to pay workers and facilitate canteen transactions on site.
This is company scrip in the strictest sense: it functioned within the colliery's closed economy and carried no obligation on any bank. Redemption depended entirely on the issuer remaining solvent.
