| Obverse description | The octagonal field is framed by a continuous pearl border along the outer edge, within which a circular pearl ring encloses the central design. The numeral '2', denoting the denomination, is prominently struck in the center of the field. A circular legend reading 'SAXONIA A.-G.' arcs across the upper portion between the pearl borders, while 'GLÖTHE' is inscribed across the lower portion, each separated by raised five-pointed star stops at the lateral positions. |

| Additional information |
Saxonia A.-G. was a sugar refinery operating in Glöthe, a village in Prussian Saxony, and like dozens of similar agricultural-industrial operations in Wilhelmine and Weimar Germany, it issued its own small-denomination tokens to manage wages and canteen transactions among its workforce. These zinc pieces circulated exclusively within the company's internal economy — redeemable at the factory store, not at any bank.
The Menzel reference numbers suggest this is catalogued across both major editions of that notgeld and token corpus, confirming it as a recognized type rather than an unattributed piece.
