[QUOTE="petronius, post: 3068106, member: 37365"]In the first medal is written "Land Tournament East Prussia, Insterburg". Insterburg (now Chernyakhovsk, Russia) was a German exclave until 1945, when was occupied by Russians. Here, more informations about his history: [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernyakhovsk[/url] This could be a celebrative medal (surely, not a coin) of that tournament, and it could be authentic (but it's impossible for me to say). No design or words on the other side? The two copies on ebay are "fantasy coins", no real nazi coins exist with those designs. We, in Italy, have similar, with the portrait of Mussolini, like this: [ATTACH=full]770564[/ATTACH] It's only a gadget for nostalgic of fascism :vomit:, struck many years after the end of the war. I think that the "coins" on ebay are of the same family. petronius :cool:[/QUOTE]
