| Additional information |
Issued by the Brüggener Dampf-Falzziegel Fabrik — a steam-powered interlocking roof tile manufacturer in Brüggen — this is a piece of Werksgeld, the private token currency once common in German industrial enterprises. Factory-issued scrip of this type allowed employers to pay wages in a form redeemable only at company-owned stores, effectively tying workers' purchasing power to a single source. Zinc was the practical choice for low-denomination factory tokens throughout the Kaiserreich and Weimar periods, cheap enough to produce in quantity and sufficiently durable for internal circulation.
