Here is a real small coin about 13 mm with 100 in wreath on back but has this squirrel on coin, do not know country? Do you know? If you do, let me know. Or it might be play money?

The reverse looks extremely Swiss. That being said, I can't find it in any reference book I have. Due to having no date or for that matter, any writing of ant kind leads me to believe it is probabably some type of token.

looks swiss rappen. I've searched my charltons can't find nothing and there's no 100 rappen to my knowledge. With no date or other writing, I too will guess some kind of token

I agree about the swiss rappen wreath motif, the squirrel I have seen on Norway Ore. There is no script or date... ? This made me think of play money but it is well made and well struck. Swiss Canton (still no info) Sub unit of 100 has me puzzled too... too small for a token but who knows?

This is playmoney- Spielgeld. The designs are European -squirrel- Norway, 100 -Swiss, the other 3 are West German- the Eagle, oak leaves (1948), and the 2 denomination.
