10 Pfennig Notgeld Token (emergency money issued throughout Germany during WWI and later).

I don't have my references with me right now, so I can't give you a catalog number.

Joel's Coins Notgeld List
Your piece is half way down the page and listed at $4 in AU.
This may be a dealer site but doubles as the best reference list I've been able to find online!

Incidentally, Solingen is world famous for its knives, swords, and other cutting instruments; hence, the coat of arms.

Are they also famous for anchors?

I don't know but it's possible that anchors were among the items that are included in their area of expertise. It seems reasonable, as anchors might need to be hardened and of high quality.

Any clue what this is?
