2 Pfennig - Nürnberg Sprengstoff A.G.

Nürnberg Sprengstoff A.G. was a German explosives manufacturer, and like many industrial firms during the First World War and its aftermath, it issued private token coinage — Kriegsgeld or factory money — to manage wage payments when official small change grew scarce. These zinc pieces circulated exclusively within the company's payroll and canteen system, redeemable only by employees.

Zinc was the default wartime substitute; copper and nickel had been requisitioned for munitions production by the same industries issuing the tokens.
