<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 653470, member: 39&quot;]Yep. They should say &quot;Deutsche Mark&quot; though, and the country name (Bundesrepublik Deutschland) should be somewhere on the pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Those are probably &quot;new&quot; francs (roughly 1960-2000). The 20 F coin you show in the picture is an &quot;old francs&quot; piece.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Right - the word before that will probably be &quot;rey&quot;, and &quot;Rey de España&quot; means &quot;King of Spain&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As kidromeo said, Switzerland. The country is trilingual (officially even quadrilingual), so instead of using all language versions on the coins, they picked the Latin name. Same thing with the denominations - the 5, 10 and 20 pieces are centimes, rappen, centesimi or raps depending on the language. So the unit name was left out altogether ...</p><p><br /></p><p>The Reichspfennig coin is from the German Empire (Deutsches Reich, 1871-1949). This particular type was made between 1936 and 1939.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
