| Additional information |
Senkingwerk A.G. was a major metalware and enamelware manufacturer in Hildesheim that issued its own factory tokens — Werksgeld — for use in company canteens and internal purchasing systems, a practice common among large German industrial firms in the late Wilhelmine and Weimar periods. These tokens circulated exclusively within the works and were redeemable only through company-controlled outlets, effectively tying workers' spending to the employer.
The brass-plated zinc construction points almost certainly to a wartime or immediate postwar issue, when copper and brass were restricted materials.
