<p>[QUOTE="silverqueen, post: 1060982, member: 15584"]I have several of the same coin in pure silver. Like Jacobus, mine came from my father who also said its function was to predict important dates and events. I am not so sure that it is masonic. My father was a theosophist, so I am leaning towards the cabalistic intent. I remember the coin from my childhood, but never asked my father to fully explain its specific intent. He has now passed and I regret not asking. He received it from a fellow theosophist in New york in the early 1960's. This was one of the main headquarters for theosophists of the time...leads me more to think it was a local "metaphysical" thing. Hope that helps, wish it was more. Would very, very much like to know this coin's purpose. The pictures from the coinarchives website are no longer available. Did anyone get a screen shot? I'd love to have it. I know that the coin sold for 3,000DM in that auction.</p><p><img src="http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/1/1/8/5/5/8/webimg/434765895_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/1/1/8/5/5/8/webimg/434765880_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
