Message:: [QUOTE="Bert Gedin, post: 3583351, member: 92556"]Firstly, re. Kantinegeld, to claim the swastika appeared everywhere, throughout the ages, is - to my mind - pure and unadulterated nonsense, in this case. The wording is German and the context certainly appears Nazi Germany. The "Wheel" appears linked to some machinery, very likely military. This query has been aired online, in recent years, and CT was mentioned, more than once. Some quotes from "Numista", online, Post 176, 14 Feb., 2013. - Definitely a reproduction, Kantinegeld, made of either aluminium, tin, zinc or some mixture. "Real" ones were made of brass/bronze. - Fakes or Contemporary Counterfeits. - Were used by SS officers as Canteen currency. ?Beer token? Resources for research are scarce.[/QUOTE]
