| Additional information |
Anton Schlüter Motorenfabrik in Freising was a Bavarian agricultural machinery manufacturer whose factory tokens circulated internally as small-denomination wage supplements or canteen currency — a practice widespread in German industry during the post-WWI period of chronic small-coin shortages. The Reichsbank's inability to supply adequate fractional coinage between roughly 1916 and the early 1920s pushed hundreds of private firms to issue their own notgeld in both paper and metal.
Schlüter's firm survived into the postwar decades as a respected tractor producer, making this token an unusually traceable piece of industrial scrip.
