| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued by the Bayerische Braunkohlen-Industrie A.G. — a Bavarian brown coal mining company operating the lignite deposits around Schwandorf in the Upper Palatinate — this token entered circulation because the Imperial German government's war requisitioning of copper and nickel had effectively killed small-change production by 1917. Municipalities, utilities, and industrial firms were authorized to issue their own Notgeld to fill the gap. Zinc, abundant and strategically expendable, became the default substitute.
The Schwandorf mining operation was one of Bavaria's most significant lignite producers, supplying fuel critical to the wartime economy at precisely the moment its workers needed something to spend at the company store.
