Comment
Token from the Café du Commerce in Schifflange. The establishment was owned by the couple Thérèse Rubens and Nicolas Lippert. The parents of both were also café and cabaret owners. Nic. Lippert's parents owned establishments in Differdange and Niederkorn at the turn of the century. Thérèse Rubens inherited the Café du Commerce in Schifflange from her parents.According to Weiller, the couple took over the Café du Commerce in 1953. However, the Lippert-Rubens couple had already been running the establishment since 1944. Following the death of Nic. Lippert in 1957, Thérèse Rubens continued to run the café for many years.
Weiller type token no. 58, commissioned by the intermediary firm Palgen, minted in 1955 by an unknown German workshop.
