Added an interesting Austrian 1938 token to my collection

It is made by the Austrian Mint. I have this date in Bronze and Silver but
this is the first
custom design I have for this date. I have seen several others however.

It is a Wurstfabrik token :-) That is a sausage factory. I love it. ;-)

It says Wien XII and Franz Artaker

I assume it means 12th anniversary of the Franz Artaker Vienna sausage
factory.
Not Vienna sausages but sausages made in Vienna.

Don't have it in hand yet but when I do, it looks like a nice candidate for
a soak in acetone.

Sausage factory is right :-) but I think that "Wien XII" refers to the
municipal district (Bezirk) of Vienna where is factory was located. The
"XII. Bezirk" is Meidling in SW Vienna ...

Thanks!
I wondered momentarily if it was a District. Seems obvious now :-)
