Six tokens of Café Werner in Haifa – tokens made of bronze in denominations of 40, 30 and 50; tokens made of white metal in denominations of 10, 30 and 50.
Obverse: denomination of the token. Reverse: "Café Werner Haifa" (in three lines).
The tokens were issued by Zvi Werner, after he immigrated to Palestine from Vienna in 1935 and opened Café Werner on Herzl St. in Haifa. The tokens were imported blank from Vienna, before being impressed; the legends were impressed in Haifa. The tokens were in circulation until the Café closed in 1951, when the owner died. It is believed that they were used by the waiters of the Café for calculations, and at times of shortage of coins, also as currency.
