| Additional information |
Chillingworth was a Nuremberg metalworking and wire-drawing firm that, like hundreds of German industrial concerns, issued notgeld during the profound shortage of small-denomination coinage that gripped Germany in the early 1920s. These factory tokens circulated among workers as fractional wage supplements, redeemable at company facilities, and rarely traveled far beyond the issuing plant's gates.
