| Additional information |
Stahlberg Gewerkschaft was a mining operation in the Rhineland-Palatinate region, and like many German industrial concerns of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it issued its own notgeld-style labor tokens to pay workers in scrip redeemable only at the company store — a practice that effectively tied wages to the employer's own commercial infrastructure. Zinc was the practical choice for low-denomination industrial tokens: cheap, abundant, and sufficiently durable for internal circulation without tempting hoarding.
The Menzel reference 29916.3 suggests at least minor variety distinctions exist within this type.
