Does anyone have any idea what this is? It appears to be a token or some type of notgeld but the only identifying marks are the number 30 in a diamond shape. The reverse is blank. It's 18 mm In diameter and 2 grams. Thank you!

Notgeld always have more info on them, including denomination and most often the issuing state. This is a "good fer" token, a generic transportation or biergarten barter piece. Est. 1930-1950's. Source may be the only hope of identification of area issued, could be anywhere, suspect central Europe post-WW1 Possibly Weimar(c.1922) up to post war WW2.

What does the reverse look like and what leads you to think Notgeld?

EDIT: I just looked up the definition of Notgeld and boy was I wrong on what I thought it meant.

@jay1234, a great resource for these things is tokencatalog.com. In performing a quick search of the site with the keywords 30 and DIAMOND, I found one which has one side similar to yours. With additional digging, you might be able to find a match.

Thanks for the replies. chafemasterj: The back on my token is blank.


@Spence That token looks identical (except for the back side). Thanks for the clue!
