Issued by a chemical products firm in Landshut, Bavaria, this zinc notgeld piece belongs to the wave of privately issued emergency coinage that flooded Germany during the early 1920s as federal small-change supplies collapsed under inflationary pressure. Factories and commercial enterprises routinely issued their own denominations to keep wages and canteen transactions functional when reichspfennig coinage simply wasn't reaching workers in sufficient volume. Zinc was the material of practical necessity — aluminum and iron had already been exhausted by wartime demands.
