Quote: Württemberg 1 Kreuzer, again a billon issue at only .166 fine. This was the first year for this type, with 86.000 being struck. Diminutive at just 14 mm in diameter. Very nice!

1819 Pfennig, from the mint mark evidently struck in Berlin, but I'm so far unable to identify for which German State this was issued. 18 mm in diameter, weight comes in at .77 of a gram.

Quote: but I'm so far unable to identify for which German State this was issued. Just looked it up on Numista. Turns out it's a Judenpfennig - an evasion token issue from early 19th century Frankfurt. No wonder you couldn't figure it out! As far as I understand, those issues were deliberately made to avoid being immediately associated with any real country.

january1may - Great detective work! It also turns out that what on my worn example I was seeing as an "A" mint mark is in fact a "+".

Being from the period of the Deutsches Kaiserreich, I'm not sure these truly qualify as German state coinage. 1911 Bavaria 3 Marks -  1911 Württemberg 3 Marks -
