<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbrklyn, post: 1026477, member: 4381&quot;]I don&#039;t know, it is bizarre - but the coin is from a storefront and the title of the section is </p><p><br /></p><p>Online Price-list: Anti-Semitic &amp; Related Medallic Judaica</p><p><br /></p><p>The specific example is:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/nazi_anti_semetism_coin_r.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/nazi_anti_semetism_coin_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The write up for the coin is as follows:</p><p><br /></p><p>Germany: Anti-Semitic &quot;Why We Fight&quot; (&quot;Wofür Kämpfen Unsere Feinde&quot;) medal, 1939; struck in zinc; no artist/maker mark; size: 40.5mm, weight: 21.15g.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse depicts German soldier above industrial and agricultural workers, and legend around edge, &quot;GROSSDEUTSCHLAND KÄMPFT FÜR DEN FRIEDEN GEGEN DEN SCHANDVERTRAG VON VERSAILLES&quot; (&quot;Greater Germany fights for Peace against the Shame-Treaty of Versailles&quot;) with date national (Nazi) emblem.</p><p><br /></p><p>On reverse, a large caricatured &quot;Jewish&quot; figure with Star of David, with flames behind him and images of money and weaponry before him, with legend below &quot;WOFÜR KÄMPFEN UNSERE FEINDE&quot; (&quot;For What do our Enemies Fight&quot;). Relatively thick planchet, plain rim.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of interest is the use of a Wehrmacht (German military) figure rather than an SS soldier: though the Waffen-SS did not figure prominently in the battlefield in the early years of the Second World War, it and not the Wehrmacht is popularly seen as the propagator of open anti-Semitism (though photographic and documentary evidence after the War showed the military was just as involved in the extermination of Jews during the war as the SS).
