Luxembourg notgeld : Differdingen 0 Essmarke

Hi, any info about this token? dates? use? catalogue # ?

Nickel plated Zinc, 29mm, 5.45g

obv: EISENINDUSTRIE DIFFERDINGEN / ABT.WOHLFAHRTSWESEN (Abt. : Abteilung)

rev: ESSMARKE 0 / ERSTE MONATSHÄLFTE

automatic translation:

IRON INDUSTRY DIFFERDINGEN / WELFARE DEPARTMENT 
FOOD STAMP 0 / FIRST HALF OF THE MONTH

Translation is understandable, but the concept of a 0 value sounds strange, no?

I found this: https://www.industrie.lu/geld.html where it appears without “0”, but without additional info about the token;

and here: https://www.industrie.lu/UsineDifferdange.html a highly detailed history of the factory.

Maybe it was ment to get a free meal?

I found one token on sale  but without picture (item 537)

Differdange Iron Industry, Social Welfare Service, Food Vouchers, Second Half of the Month, White Metal, 6.63 g (29 mm) - TB

Yes possible, the same token exists without any value:

Thanks Frenchlover, your find show that the same exists for the "second half of the month" (with a 20€ value).
