Aktiengesellschaft für Anilinfabrikation, commonly known as Agfa, was manufacturing X-ray plates and photographic film products in the early twentieth century. Berlin-Treptow, Germany was the location of an aniline manufacturing plant.
This German company scrip is an example of the hyperinflation which occurred in Germany after World War One as a result of reparation costs. Due to the devaluation of the Mark, companies began issuing their own currency that employees could use within their company stores.
