| Additional information |
The Milchzentrale der Stadt Nürnberg was a municipal dairy cooperative operating in Nuremberg during the early twentieth century, and like many German civic enterprises of the period it issued its own token currency to manage small-denomination transactions — in this case, almost certainly for milk purchases or bottle deposits. Iron composition places this squarely in the World War I or early Weimar years, when copper and brass were requisitioned for military use and iron became the default substitute for low-value municipal and commercial tokens throughout Germany.
