<p>[QUOTE="princeofwaldo, post: 1530645, member: 24091"]The coin depicts the LZ-127 aka "Graf Zeppelin" which was launched in 1928, but made it's most memorable flight in 1929 when it travelled around the world. The 1929 date commemorates this flight. The 1930-A indicates the year the coin was struck (only year as it turned out) and the letter "A" indicates the mint in Berlin. I f you want to learn a little more about Zeppelins, have a look at this website. You can easily get lost in it and spend hours looking at all the old postcards etc from the era. The photos of the bridge in the LZ-127 are like something right out of a 1950s Ed Wood science fiction movie!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.airships.net/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.airships.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.airships.net/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]202229.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]202230.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
