Alfeld an der Leine, a small industrial town in Lower Saxony, saw a proliferation of privately issued emergency money — Notgeld — during the severe coin shortages of World War I. C. Behrens was among the local merchants or firms that issued zinc tokens to keep small transactions moving when Reichsbank coinage had effectively vanished from circulation, hoarded by a public that understood metal held value better than paper.
The Menzel reference numbers place this firmly within the documented Notgeld corpus, though private merchant issues from this period frequently survive in small quantities — their production was improvised, not systematic.
