congratulation to you !
nice coin, great story behind , it's so cool to know something new.
thank you.:yes:

 

Thats gorgeous, willieboyd!

 

sorry, photos not so great

 

And a couple of mine.

 

Here is a 5 mark coin of the Kaiser.

 

1/24 thaler 1626 & solidus 1669.

 

4 groshen 1805.

 

1/6 thaler 1823.

 

I don't know, what is it?

 

That is a coronation medal; don't know whether it's the real thing or some kind of copy though. The text HOMAG· BEROL· means Homage in Berlin. And "Veritati et Iustitiae" means something like "To Truth and Justice". The date had me confused ... "3 AUG MDCCXI", ie. 1711, did not really make much sense. Hmm, maybe the I is an L ... ah yes, 1740. That is when Frederick became king of Prussia.

Here is a coronation medal, or homage medal, which looks similar to yours: http://www.deutschlandjournal.de/De...santritt_Friedrichs_II._von_Preussen_1740.pdf Compare the sizes and weights; maybe your piece is some kind of jeton or play money inspired by the medal?

One good Prussian deserves another.

I do not really like some of the Germany coins ( special 3-Reich), but I can't resist the
states of Germany.
