| Additional information |
Rennert & Korinthenberg was a Neuss-based hardware and ironmongery firm that issued this zinc notgeld token during the acute small-change shortage that gripped Germany in the early 1920s. Private commercial notgeld of this type was tolerated — briefly — by municipal and central authorities as a stopgap, with firms essentially printing their own fractional currency redeemable against purchases. Zinc was the material of necessity: copper and nickel had been consumed by the war effort, and aluminum supplies were inconsistent.
