| Beschrijving voorzijde | Octagonal zinc token with a continuous beaded border following the eight-sided periphery of the flan. The upper arc of the field bears the legend SCHLOSSWERFT in raised relief, with R. HOLTZ inscribed across the centre in a straight line, separated from the lower legend HARBURG A/E. by a centrally placed anchor device. The anchor, a maritime emblem befitting the shipyard issuer, is flanked by the monogram initials R.H. within its shank. The entire design is rendered in a plain, utilitarian style characteristic of German Notgeld emergency coinage of the early twentieth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Harburg's Schlosswerft — the "castle shipyard" — operated on the southern bank of the Elbe, and like hundreds of German industrial firms during the First World War, it issued its own emergency token coinage when Reichsmünze production couldn't keep pace with the demand for small change. Zinc was the material of necessity; copper and nickel had been redirected to the war effort by 1916.
The Menzel reference numbers suggest this piece is well-documented within the Kriegsgeld corpus, though shipyard-specific issues from Harburg remain less frequently encountered than municipal notgeld from the same period.
