| Additional information |
The Bayerische Überlandcentrale at Haidhof was one of Bavaria's early regional electricity cooperatives, and like many German industrial operations during World War One, it issued zinc notgeld tokens to compensate for the acute shortage of small coinage that resulted from wartime metal requisitioning. These privately circulated pieces functioned as internal or local scrip, redeemable within a defined commercial radius.
Zinc was the default emergency material — copper and nickel had been redirected to munitions.
