2 Pfennig - Lüdinghausen Maschinenfabrik Pilgrim

Maschinenfabrik Pilgrim was a Westphalian agricultural machinery manufacturer, and like hundreds of German industrial firms during the acute small-change shortage of the early 1920s, it issued its own token currency for use within its workforce — valid at the company canteen or cooperative store, redeemable against wages. These Werksmarken filled a genuine gap; Reichsbank coin production could not keep pace with inflation-driven hoarding and melting of metal currency.

Zinc was the default emergency material by this point, copper long since prioritized elsewhere.
