| Reverse description | The reverse presents a plain, unadorned field dominated by a large, boldly struck numeral '2' centered within the coin, occupying nearly the full diameter of the inner field. A continuous pearl border of raised beads encircles the denomination, providing the sole decorative element. The design is deliberately minimal, consistent with the utilitarian character of German industrial emergency coinage issued during the inflation period. |

| Additional information |
Hans Müller's tool factory in Dermbach issued iron notgeld tokens during the acute small-change shortage that gripped Germany in the early 1920s, when hyperinflation drove metal coinage out of circulation almost entirely. Private industrial firms across Thuringia and beyond stepped in as de facto monetary authorities simply to pay their own workers and keep factory canteens functioning.
The Hasselmann reference places this among documented Thuringian private issues — a catalogued variety, not a phantom piece.
