<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1602799, member: 39&quot;]Admittedly I don&#039;t know when those were first issued. Due to the lack of coins around the end of WW1, cities and counties were allowed to issue local money (as from late 1916/early 1917). And the city of Düren did that too, see the bottom of <a href="http://www.cachecoins.org/notgeldcoins.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cachecoins.org/notgeldcoins.htm" rel="nofollow">this page</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>That coin with the soldier may well have been designed and first issued before Nov-1918, but it was in use after that date as well. Other Düren coins, dated 1919, show a pilot and a miner for example, <a href="http://www.cachecoins.org/notgeldcoins02.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cachecoins.org/notgeldcoins02.htm" rel="nofollow">see here</a> at the top of the page ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
