2 Pfennigs - Halle Gotthelf Heimann & Co G.M.B.H.

Gotthelf Heimann & Co. was a metalware and hardware firm based in Halle an der Saale that issued notgeld tokens during the acute small-change shortages of the early Weimar period. Private commercial firms across Germany resorted to zinc and iron pieces when official coinage disappeared from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply never minted in sufficient quantity after the war's fiscal devastation left the Reichsmünzen unable to meet demand.

The Hasselmann reference places this firmly within the documented corpus of Saxon commercial notgeld, distinguishing it from the vast flood of undocumented pieces that circulated and vanished without record.
