20 Pfennig - Reichenbach Wohltätigkeits and Pflegeanstalt

The Barmherzige Brüder — Brothers of Mercy — operated hospital and care facilities across German-speaking Europe, and their institutions occasionally issued internal token coinage to manage transactions within closed wards, restricting patient access to outside currency. The Reichenbach house served both charitable and custodial functions, and zinc was the default wartime substitute material when brass and nickel became strategically restricted, placing this piece almost certainly in the 1914–1918 window.
