Grafrath.
50 pfennig 1917.
Small commune in Bavaria with a population 3588 people only.

 

Note those little dots above the A. That piece is from Gräfrath; today the place is part of Solingen, NW. Pretty elaborate CoA ...

Thank you very much, Christian. I didn't knew it.

 

I think that the neatest of the notgeld coins are those made of porcelain, usually around Dresden, but there are others. The porcelains were different colors and extremely nice to look at. I used to have quite a buch but traded to a nolgeld collector, along with about 700 notes .. some with beautiful lithography.

 

@Siberian Man: I have hardly any war money/notgeld pieces, just a few that you already showed here. Gräfrath (the one in NW) is actually pretty close to where I live, so I knew ... Thank you for showing your collection!

I got behind on this thread. Beautiful tokens. I like the pic of town a lot.

 

Something new.
Iserlohn.
5 pfennig 1917.

 

Bad picture, but here's one I picked up at a local show last weekend (showed these in the Germany thread, but this one is more appropriate):

 

is that double struck??

 

I don't think so.

 

Coburg (the town in Nothern Bavaria).
10 pfennig 1917.

 

Right, today Coburg is in Bavaria - at that time however the city was part of the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. In the 1918 revolution the two territories (Coburg, Gotha) became two separate republics, and two years later the former joined Bavaria while the latter joined the newly founded Thuringia. The portrait does not show a ruler, by the way, but St. Maurice (Mauritius), the patron of Coburg.
