The Numista page says "Numista rarity index 92" with rare coins being 100 and common being zero. So this is uncommon / relatively rare? How accurate is that Numista index?

I can't find a date, but on the below page, all the other Ludwigshafen ones are 1917/1918, so my guess is it won't be too far off that.

This link lists the 5 Pfennig as Funck 308.1, I've seen several references to 308.2 for a 10 Pfennig, but I don't have that catalog. My guess is someone with it could find it in the 308's. Seems most things are 1917-1920

The person who gave it to me said it was a token. I took their word because they're a medals collector. Now I know why they didn't have any information on it. Like me, they had been barking up the wrong tree.

Zinc - your example appears to have XF details but the white spots on the denomination side indicates it is corroding.
You might want to soak the piece in mineral oil to prevent further decay. But do some research 1st on preserving zinc before trying it.
I don't have the catalogue for these but a friend does. Written by Scheuer (I think). I'll send him the link to see if he can provide more info.

I have another Notgeld piece. Looks very different, is much larger, and I think from a totally different decade, but perhaps they will fit nicely together.
