| Additional information |
Canteen tokens of this type were issued by private employers in the Rhineland during the early twentieth century, functioning as scrip redeemable only within the issuing establishment's own facilities — a system that effectively tied workers' meal spending to the employer. Zinc was the material of necessity during and after the First World War, when brass and other copper alloys were diverted to munitions production. Hasselmann's corpus remains the primary reference for cataloging these notgeld-adjacent issues, most of which survive in small numbers and rarely turn up outside regional German collections.
