| Additional information |
Automobil- und Aviatik A.G. was one of the early German aircraft manufacturers, producing aircraft under French Farman licenses before developing its own designs ahead of the First World War. The Heiterblick facility outside Leipzig became central to that production. This zinc notgeld piece almost certainly dates to the wartime or immediate postwar period, when metal shortages and currency disruptions pushed industrial firms to issue their own small-denomination scrip to pay workers or facilitate on-site transactions — conventional coinage having effectively vanished from circulation.
