| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays an elaborate heraldic coat of arms occupying most of the field, featuring a quartered shield surmounted by a crowned helm with ornate mantling extending to either side. The shield bears hammers and other armorial charges in its quarters. Flanking the shield are two rampant creatures rendered in a decorative style typical of baroque heraldry. Along the lower arc of the field, a legend reading 'I.G.B.Z.B.WVHZE 1619' is incused, the date 1619 likely referencing the historical founding of the Eisenhammer works. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Granitwerk Eisenhammer was a granite quarrying and processing operation in Steinwiesen, a small town in Upper Franconia, Bavaria. Like hundreds of German industrial firms during the severe coin shortages of 1917–1921, the company issued its own notgeld tokens to pay workers when official small-denomination coinage had effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply never minted in sufficient quantities to meet wartime demand. Iron was the material of necessity, not choice; copper and nickel had long been commandeered for the war effort.
