Germany coin thread (only the best)

What on earth is it? Looks like some kind of medal struck over a 3rd Reich coin, with the value replaced by 1948 (by which time the "Deutsches Reich" was history). Size, weight?

In that case, this one is especially for you...

 

Here are a couple of "historic" DDR coins I absolutely wanted to have.
I doubt the USA will ever issue any Marx & Engels coinage.

 

and here is a "scientific" coin. Might almost be worth starting a new thread if anybody has more such.

 

Some terrific coins, especially the Wurtembourg 3 Mark.

 

Thank you. I just sold the 3 mark to a fellow CT member.

 

Well, I could make a comment about the current political situation in the US, but ... By the way, the Federal Republic of Germany ("West G.") did issue a Karl Marx coin too.

Guess those are two images of two different coins. The one with the soldier is notgeld from Düren (10 Pf 1918 methinks), the other one is a Deutsches Reich coin from the post-WW2 allied occupation years.

This one seems to be in decent shape...

 

This is a €10 collector coin featuring Max Planck and his thermal radiation law. The second one will be issued next month; it is about Heinrich Hertz and his research on electromagnetic waves.

I like the toning on this 1913 3 Mark. It was purchased in 2011 but I stumbled onto the photo today.

 

nice one collect, that one is on my "to get" list.

 

i don't know if these are coins, i guess these weren't really supposed to be circulated...but I've got a weird thing for them. porcelain notgeld..


this one is 27 mm...






this one is GIGANTO...






30 mark, listed as berlin....52.5mm and 18.2g

compared to quarter...



many of these were made my the meissen porcelain company (note the crossed swords symbol), which mainly makes stuff my wife would like. they're still going, though they don't mention anything about their numismatic past..

Chrsmat, are you sure those won't melt in your hand?

Sure looks like milk chocolate.

 

didn't taste like it.... .

 

Chris, that some awesome Notgeld...what a monster coin...

 

The 10 Mark piece was actually notgeld - and yes, those coins circulated in Saxony for a short period of time. The big piece was issued by or for the Wirtschaftshilfe der Deutschen Studentenschaft, an organization that supported students in various ways. Not sure how that one was used, but I don't think it circulated like the Meissen money ...
