serial Pillar of the Community Australia 539 Posts	Posted 04/08/2014 12:59 am can anyone tell me about this token. I believe it is silver (it has 986 stamped on the shield) it is in a sealed non pvc sleave and is not very big can anyone tell me its age, value, origin, maker etc? Report this Post to the Staff

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 04/08/2014 07:43 am The obverse bears the modern civic arms, dating from 1952, of the municipality ("Gemeinde") of Meitingen, in Bavaria. I think the four communities on the reverse may have been absorbed into the new municipality when it came into existence. In 1989, Meitingen was given market status, as Markt Meitingen; this medal may then predate that year. http://www.hdbg.eu/gemeinden/web/in...schl=9772177 Edited by philadelphian 04/08/2014 07:47 am Report this Post to the Staff

chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 04/18/2014 1:35 pm 1978 or later, I think. Look at the four places that are now parts of Meitingen (lower image): Erlingen became part of Meitingen in January 1972; Herbertshofen and Ostendorf were added in July 1972, and Langenreichen in May 1978.

platinrubel Valued Member Austria 194 Posts	Posted 04/20/2014 04:38 am Yes, 986 means the silver! Report this Post to the Staff
serial Pillar of the Community Australia 539 Posts	Posted 04/20/2014 06:01 am do you think it is only worth melt value? or do you think this could have some appeal to someone above melt? Report this Post to the Staff
giorgio11 Valued Member United States 406 Posts	Posted 04/20/2014 07:51 am I doubt it has more than melt value unless you fly to Bavaria. Best Regards, George Report this Post to the Staff
