Each Sparkasse has the same logo, the stylized &quot;S&quot; with a dot above that represents a coin. Think of the S as a piggy bank that you put money in. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Your Sparkasse, so to say, has its <a href="https://www.sparkasse-olpe.de/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.sparkasse-olpe.de/" rel="nofollow">website here</a>. Its full name is <i>Sparkasse Olpe - Drolshagen - Wenden</i>, which is what you can also read on your medal. The three towns are in Olpe county, in the state of North Rhine Westphalia.</p><p><br /></p><p>My guess is that the piece was issued in 1991; that would be the 150th anniversary. (The Sparkasse in Olpe was founded in 1841.) Don&#039;t really know what taler they picked for the design, but apparently one from that year 1841.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
