Hd2cc7 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 01/26/2021 5:38 pm My Dad passed away several years ago and left behind a few assorted French and Belgian coins. They are from the War years and I assume he brought them back from his service in Europe in WW2 (he was a paratrooper in 1944-45). They are all quite worn. One of them looked unusual and I would be interested in any opinions on whether it has any value. I am not sure of its weight or if it is zinc or aluminum. I am attaching several pictures. Any help is appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

1847bill New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 01/26/2021 6:00 pm Yours is the 1948 B mint. It is made of aluminum and sorry to say very common. It is also a very cool keepsake. Report this Post to the Staff
erafjel Pillar of the Community Sweden 582 Posts	Posted 01/26/2021 6:03 pm to the CCF! It is actually a 1948, so he must have acquired it after his service. It's made of aluminium and in this worn condition it unfortunately doesn't have any value. Report this Post to the Staff
Hd2cc7 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 01/26/2021 6:05 pm Thank you fo the quick reply. I read it as a 1943 coin (it is quite worn so I read the 8 as a 3). Not sure how Dad came across a 1948 coin since he returned from Europe in December of 1945. Strange, Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 4366 Posts	Posted 01/26/2021 7:44 pm Quote: I assume he brought them back from his service in Europe in WW2 Sometimes the coins tell of family stories that were not so obvious. My wife's father also served in NW Europe in 1944-45. The coins he passed down were Belgian, Netherlands and Germany with dates up to 1944. Except for some Netherlands coins from 1948. It turned out he had fallen in love with a young Dutch woman, and returned to the Netherlands in 1948, but returned home still single (to later marry my wife's mother). Report this Post to the Staff
Hd2cc7 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 01/26/2021 9:26 pm That's an interesting story. I wish I knew the story behind my anachronistic coin. I'll need to invent one! Edited by Hd2cc7 01/26/2021 9:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff
