Hello,

Does someone have any idea on what this could be?
It looks old and also looks like someone engraved a number in it.

Thanks in advance

From an old coinpeople forum thread:


Quote:
Wertmarken means 'money token'. This is a general generic german token minted by several different companies and bought by businesses to be redeemed or used in stores... Often times they are countermarked
.

If you want more info on your token, I suggest researching business names in Germany from the early to mid-20th century. I think that there were a bazillion of these types of tokens made. Knowing whether yours was made from Aluminum or Zinc might narrow things down a little.
