Hallo, my friends. I want to share my coins of the Third Reich and its satellites (allies) with you. It's not very big but interesting collection. Regards. Eugene.
Kingdom of Romania. 200 lei 1942, silver .835, weight - 6 g. 500 lei 1944. Silver .700, weight - 12 g.
Kingdom of Hungary under the regency of admiral Miclos Horthy (Hitler's ally till the end of the War). 2 filler 1944, zinc. 10 filler 1940, steel.
Kingdom of Hungary. 1 pengo 1939, silver .640, weight - 5 g. 2 pengo 1938, silver .640. weight - 10 g.
In 1944 King Mihai(Michael) directed efforts to overthrow the Antonescu government that was complicit with the Fascists. King Mihai then made peace with the USSR, and joined the allies in the fight against the fascists and in recognition was awarded the "Order of Victory" by the USSR - he is now the last living recipient of the award. He first reigned in Romania 85 years ago, and is now 91 years old.
Great selection Eugene :yes: And thanks for the additional info SM, I did not realise he had been awarded the Victory Medal. Ps love the note as well
I agree very interesting. Usually when WWII comes up, people post coins from the "main actors" in the war in Europe, Germany, Italy, and USSR. I find it very interesting how these smaller states chose sides and were involved as well.
