| Additional information |
MAN — Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg — issued canteen tokens like this one during the early-to-mid twentieth century as a practical solution to wage payments in kind, allowing workers to purchase meals and goods at factory canteens without handling Reichsmarks directly. The Nürnberg works, which produced diesel engines, trucks, and later wartime materiel, maintained a large enough workforce to sustain its own internal scrip economy. Zinc composition points almost certainly to wartime or immediate postwar production, when copper and nickel were strategically restricted.
