Greg   01-08-2009, 06:12 PM   #3 (permalink) bart Senior Member     Join Date: May 2006 Location: Belgium Posts: 249 My Mood: Coins with this design are not scarce. The depicted church is the Garrison Church in Potsdam. This coin was first released on the occasion of the first anniversary of the Nazi take-over, with the date Hitler seized power put on the coin (March 21,1933). On a following issue the date was taken off. The Potsdam Garrison Church was depicted on both the 2 and 5 reichsmark coins. __________________ My collection : http://www.omnicoin.com/?collection=bart   01-08-2009, 06:19 PM   #4 (permalink) kidromeo I'M LEGEND     Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: Republic Of India Posts: 1,751 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by bart Coins with this design are not scarce.

I wonder whether that is supposed to be an actual location or rather some "generic" place. As for this being a token, I am not sure. May be so, but usually you don't have tokens at Christmas markets here. So it's probably a medal ...
