    Hello :) Does anyone recognize this coin / token? It is about 26mm & 5.8g.

    Thanks for any assistance! 002.JPG 003.JPG

    That is a Bavarian beer token. Nice piece, and pretty well preserved! It was issued by the Seefeld brewery, today in the town of Hechendorf. There are different versions; as you see from the links below, some have little rings at the top ...

    (silver plated, but the design is pretty much the same)

    And sorry, I'm basically clueless when it comes to this token. I just know how to "feed" a search engine with German terms. ;)

    That is awesome! Thank you so much! I've had this for a while and picked and up and searched - hit a dead end -and then put it down again so many times.

    I really appreciate your help! :)
