bronze, Issued by Zvi Werner, who came to Haifa from Vienna and opened the "Werner" Café on Herzl Street in 1935.
On one side of the token is its value and on the other side is the inscription "CAFÉ WERNER HAIFA". Zvi Werner imported blank tokens, before impression, and the inscriptions were impressed on them in Haifa. They were in use until the café closed in 1951.
Some people think that the tokens were used by the café's waiters for calculations and in the times when coins were scarce they were used as coins as well.
