100 Pfennigs - Berlin Deutsche Bank

Deutsche Bank issued brass Pfennig tokens for internal branch use during the early twentieth century, a practice common among major German financial institutions before the Reichsbank consolidated small-denomination circulation. These pieces functioned as canteen or cashier tokens rather than public currency, circulating only within bank premises. The Berlin branch designation distinguishes this from otherwise identical issues attributed to other Deutsche Bank locations, a distinction that matters considerably to specialists working the Hasselmann series.
