oh ok. your coins are amazing. why sell them ? great examples for sure.

 

well , i own many same type ones , much better looking + to make little profit for my son. what do collect ? i also like all types world coins ancients tokens etc

 

I collect topical/themed coin collections. world "coins with insects", "coins with certain stars", "coins with hands", "coins with small coins on the coins for the design of the coin", some rainbow toned coins, a large MISC. section ha ha ha... my personal favorite is coins with insects. I have many ...some are very expensive and I will have to wait a while on those but others are with in my reach.

 

When a collector exhibits his list of coins or pictures of coins it is always a bit of show off. Showing a Nazi coin is merely showing a part of history , so I did not run after swastikas when I bought 2 Nazi coins in 2 large combination deals , they are listed here:

including 2 Reichsmarks and 5 reichmarks. I did see some pfennig coins but their prices were too expensive at that time and not so interesting , the money was used to buy other coins. As a person who has an interest in history , it is more important to represent more WW2 coins of the occupied countries , such as most coins of Vichy France

Here are a few Vichy French coins. Note the size difference on 10 centimes between 1941 & 43. Apparently even aluminum was getting scarce.

 

Curiously, both the older Morlon design and the Vichy "Etat Francais" seemed to be struck during the Vichy era. The substitution of "Travail, Famille, Patrie" (work, family, country) for "Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité" was symptomatic of the revised "ideals" of the Vichy state.

 

...and just for interests sake, here is a pretty beat-up aluminum 5 franc piece from the 1945 provisional government.
