Hello, I have a collection of coins from my grandmother's trip to Europe in 1910. One of the coins is about the same size as a Deutsches Reich 1901 5 pfennig, and has an eagle very similar to the 5 pfennig. However, the eagle is slightly different and appears to be holding a staff or sword in one claw. The opposite side has a large number 1, a small leaf pattern, and the date 1909 all surrounded by a decorative line. It is a brown (copper?) color with no indication of country or denomination. I have searched through listings of German 1 pfennig coins but do not see a match. Any suggestions?

What you describe sounds like an Austrian 1 heller. The Austro-Hungarians apparently believed that their coat of arms was sufficient identification for their lower-denomination coins, without having to waste space trying to fit in the rather lengthy name of their country and/or the titles of their monarch.
