| Additional information |
Füllnerwerk was a major glass and machinery manufacturing operation in Warmbrunn (now Cieplice Śląskie-Zdrój, Poland), and this iron notgeld pfennig dates to the acute small-change shortage that gripped German industry during World War I. With copper and nickel requisitioned for the war effort, hundreds of private firms across Germany issued their own low-denomination tokens to keep wages and canteen transactions moving. Iron was the concession material — cheap, abundant, and deeply unglamorous.
The Füllnerwerk issue is catalogued in both Menzel editions, suggesting it survived in enough quantity to be consistently documented, though factory notgeld of this type rarely appears outside regional collections.
