This is one of a series of 12 steins with a similar design, commonly known as the Mettlach Book Steins.
This example, Model K, is the Book Stein for Banking an Commerce.
All steins in this series have a body which represents a book case full of books on a specific area. So the book titles vary by each different area. Also the ceramic inlaid lid has a verse or saying relating to the subject matter. In this case the saying is "Zeit ist Geld" ('Time is money').
