Additional information

Grafenwöhr's training camp tokens occupy a narrow slice of German military numismatics — issued for use within the camp's canteen economy, segregated by rank. This piece circulated specifically among Fahnenjunker and Offizier-Aspiranten, the officer candidates undergoing training, keeping their purchasing separate from that of enlisted men. Whether this reflects quartermaster accounting practice or the social rigidity of Wilhelmine military hierarchy is a question the tokens themselves answer without ambiguity.
