Occupation coins.

Yes, Sir. When Third Reich occupied Czechoslovakia, Germans are declared a new puppet-state: Slovakia. During 1939-1944 Slovakia was a ally of Nazi and struggled against USSR in the Eastern Front.
But in the same time many of Slovakians took part in the Anti-fashist Movement.

WOW!! you got a wonderful collection!!

OT comment: I had some relatives living in Novosibirsk, now they moved to Germany

 

These are some awesome specimens listed. Here are a couple of coins from my collection. These were military issues from Germany for use in occupied territories only. The first is 10 Reichspfennig dated 1940 A, minted in Berlin. The second is 5 Reichspfennig dated 1940 D, minted in Munich. These were two-year types 1940 and 1941. The 1940 issues had numerous mint marks: A,B,D,E,F,G and J, 'A' being the most common. 1941 issues are extremely rare and had only two mint marks: A and F.

Occupation coins are a very fascinating aspect of numismatics. Here's two ancient ones (not mine, unfortunately!)


10 nummi of Sassanian king Khusro II, struck during the Sassanian occupation of Alexandria, c. 619-228 AD.


AR drachm of Parthian king Parthamaspates, c. 116 AD. Parthamaspates was installed by Trajan during his invasion of Parthia. This coin was struck at Ekbatana, the Parthian capital, by mint workers brought by Trajan from Antioch.

 

Wow! Now THAT'S going way back. Very interesting occupation coins. Here's another one of mine, not nearly as old though. This is a 1 Bisti coin from GEORGIA dated 1787 issued during the reign of King: Erekle II.


GEORGIA (RUSSIAN OCCUPATION)~1 Bisti 1787

 

Here's another from the occupation of MOLDAVIA & WALLACHIA during the Russo-Turkish War (1768-1774). This is a 2 Para/3 Kopek coin dated 1773.



MOLDAVIA & WALLACHIA~2 Para/3 Kopek 1773

 

I"m sorry, Sir. But Georgia was not annexed in 1801. Georgia prayed Russia about inclusion in the Empire (for defence from the Turkish invaders)encil:.

 

Oops!! My bad, I got my facts wrong. I know Pavel was trying to incorporate Georgia into the empire. Again, my apologies for the error. I dropped the last sentence from my entry for the Georgian coin. Thanks for the heads up.

Super nice coins!!

 

Very nice everything! I have 10 haleru from Bohemia-Moravia, It's an occupation coin???

 

We'd have to see the coin in question, but from what your're describing, yes it is. Coins from Bohemia-Moravia had almost identical patterns to those of Czechoslovakia, except the Slovak shield was ommited and the coins were all struck on zinc planchets. Also, the national name was changed.

 

This is an interesting thread, thanks Siberian Man for all the great examples, and to others who've contributed.

The coin below is essentially occupation coinage, the British in Egypt during WWI. In theory Egypt had a sultan, but he was basically a puppet.
