| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features the large denomination numeral '50' in raised relief at the center of the field, enclosed within a plain beaded inner circle. The circular legend 'HESSEN-NASSAUISCHER' arcs across the upper portion and 'HÜTTENVEREIN' across the lower portion of the outer ring, separated on each side by a small floral rosette ornament. The entire design is bordered by a continuous outer ring of raised dots, giving the token a utilitarian yet distinctive appearance typical of German Notgeld emergency coinage of the First World War era. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hessen-Nassauischer Hüttenverein was an iron and steel works operation in Eibelshausen, and this zinc notgeld piece dates to the acute metal and currency shortages of 1918 — the final year of the war, when the Imperial German government had long since requisitioned copper and nickel for munitions, forcing municipalities, firms, and industrial concerns to issue their own emergency coinage. Factory-issued notgeld of this kind was legally tolerated as a pragmatic stopgap, redeemable in theory against the company's own payroll obligations.
Zinc was the material of last resort, prone to corrosion and difficult to strike cleanly.
