The circular legend 'KLEINGELDERSATZMARKE' (small change substitute token) runs around the upper portion of the field within the rope circle. Three five-pointed stars are arranged along the lower interior of the rope border. The outer rim is defined by a continuous raised dotted border following the octagonal contour of the flan.

附加信息	E. Merck's Darmstadt chemical and pharmaceutical firm issued notgeld during the acute coin shortages of World War I, when the German government's metal demands stripped small-denomination coinage from everyday commerce almost entirely. Private industrial firms — particularly large employers with hundreds of workers needing change for canteen purchases and wage transactions — had little choice but to produce their own emergency currency. Zinc was the pragmatic selection: copper and nickel had long since been redirected to the war effort.
