| Additional information |
Chr. Strunck & Sohn was a leather goods manufacturer in Sprendlingen — a town in the Rhineland-Palatinate region with a long tradition of shoe and leather production. This token is notgeld, issued during the acute small-change shortages that struck Germany in 1917–1918 as copper and nickel were diverted to the war effort, leaving official coinage effectively absent from everyday commerce. Iron was the fallback material for emergency municipal and private issues alike, which explains both the composition and the likely rapid corrosion that makes uncirculated survivors difficult to find.
