Hi members... I need more info on the medals and tokens below... and their values if possible. Thanks.
Sterling,I can tell you that the following are; 1. A bread token from Toronto,Ontario,Canada. 2. A medal commemorating the union of Newfoundland into Canada. 3. A 10 Shillings Hut Tax token from New Guinea. 4. An Australian medal commemorating 50 years of Queen Victoria's accession (Golden Jubilee). 5. A German 100 Pfennig (1 Mark) token. I hope that I was able to have answered your questions.As to their value,I cannot tell you. Aidan.
For #5: Wert-Marke. These are normally known as waiter's checks. The token may also belong to a restaurant, as 15 pfennig was the standard price for beer. The most famous manufacturer of Wert-marken was L. Christian Lauer in Nürnberg, but there were several other manufacturers. They may be circa 1900-1940, except for 1915-1923 when most copper was used during WWI and hyper inflation 1922-23 needed higher values. It may be impossible to trace their origin. There was a standard for marking wertmarken with 2 or 3 letters. These tokens were not used only in Germany. There are many wert marken listed in catalogs by Menzel and Hasselmann. A couple '10' pieces are halfway down my web page here: http://home.psknet.com/tbirde3/Medals/Medals.html#Tokens
TBirde, thank u so much for the info... :thumb: I initially thought it was some kinda modern games token from Germany, based on the simplicity of design... but it's a pleasant surprise to discover it's pre-WWII. Not a bad catch for a abt quarter's price. :smile
