5 Pfennig - Nürnberg Sprengstoff A.G.

Sprengstoff A.G. Nürnberg was a German explosives manufacturer, and like many industrial firms during the First World War, it issued its own factory token currency — Lagergeld — to pay workers confined to company premises or housed in adjacent labor camps. Zinc was the wartime compromise, with copper and nickel diverted to the arms industry. These tokens rarely left the factory store.
