| Beschrijving voorzijde | Plain zinc field bearing the large numeral '2' in the centre, enclosed by a beaded inner circle. The circular legend 'DRAHTWERKE GLEIWITZ' arcs across the upper portion and 'WERTMARKE' across the lower portion of the annular space between the beaded circle and an outer beaded border that runs along the rim. The overall design is utilitarian and typographically plain, consistent with German industrial notgeld token production of the early twentieth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gleiwitz Drahtwerke — the Gleiwitz Wire Works — was an industrial operation in Upper Silesia that issued notgeld coinage during the material shortages of World War I, when the German imperial government had stripped conventional coinage metals for the war effort. Factory and municipal token issues of this type filled the gap left by disappearing small change, circulating internally among workers or within local commerce. The zinc composition is entirely characteristic of the period's constraints.
