Details

A bread card is a form of distribution coupon for obtaining food. Bread cards were often in coin form (they are also called Bread tokens) made of a cheap metal type such as zinc and aluminum. This is a token of the socialist consumer organization (or cooperative) Vooruit (1880-1970), which was founded in 1880, first as a cooperative bakery Vooruit, to protect factory workers against the volatility of big capital.
