<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TuckHard, post: 4581751, member: 102653&quot;]Here are a couple I received recently. I&#039;m curious if anyone knows much about the spielmarke and a possible age for it? It appears much more crude (older?) than many examples I see on Numista. The two Vietnamese coins were sold as copper alloys but one piece unfortunately broke during transit but the break allows me to see that it looks zinc instead, and the other piece appears zinc as well.</p><p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1134858[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center">Germany</p> <p style="text-align: center">Spielmarke (play money)</p> <p style="text-align: center">Brass | 0.34 grams</p> <p style="text-align: center">Obv: Duble-headed eagle</p> <p style="text-align: center">Rev: Spiel Marke</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1134855[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center">Vietnam</p> <p style="text-align: center">Tu Duc of the Nguyen Dynasty</p> <p style="text-align: center">1848-1883 CE</p> <p style="text-align: center">Zinc | 2.34 grams</p> <p style="text-align: center">Obv: Tu Duc Thong Bao</p> <p style="text-align: center">Rev: Plain</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1134856[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center">Vietnam</p> <p style="text-align: center">Tu Duc of the Nguyen Dynasty</p> <p style="text-align: center">1848-1883 CE</p> <p style="text-align: center">Zinc | 2.65 grams total (0.90 / 1.75 g.)</p> <p style="text-align: center">Obv: Tu Duc Thong Bao</p> <p style="text-align: center">Rev: Plain</p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
