On the obverse is a depiction of Christ supported by two angels. On the reverse is the city name, the date, three crosses and crossed swords. The swords are the trademark of Meissen porcelain works. Meissen produced a wide variety of attractive coins and medals in both earth toned and white porcelain.</p><p><br /></p><p>This was created in commemoration of the town&#039;s recreation of the Passion Play in 1930 or the 32nd Passion Play year. It would be performed twice in this decade as the 33rd Passion Play year occurred in 1934 in honor of the 300th anniversary of the vow. This little town, the whole town, recreates the passion okay every 10 year and has done so most decades since 1634.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.cachecoins.org/oberammergau.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cachecoins.org/oberammergau.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.cachecoins.org/oberammergau.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>1934 is when they had a special guest, a rising star in German politics at the time. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/img/xtra/ober04.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
