No official German coins were ever minted with Hitler's portrait and most of the tokens seen today are fantasies, but this token looks like a genuine piece of some sort, probably issued in the early 1930s. It is approx. 18m.m., medal alignment, bronze, and weighs 2.3 grams. Denomination is 50 opferpfennig. Would appreciate any info from anyone familiar with this item.

might it be a commemorative token for AH's 50th birthday, on 20th April 1939 ?

this must be a donation coin.

what writes around the number is; "Auch Ich hab mitgeholfen." => "I ve helped too."

As a collector of these Opferpfennig and Spende Marks you can find all the known information at my Moneta Coins Museum at:
http://www.moneta-coins.com/photopo...pper&cat=641

In that category you'll find the 30 and 50 Opferpfennig in various alloys (Brass & copper colored) and well as the rare One Mark piece w/ Hitler portrait. These are to only denominated Hitler portrait "coins" that were struck. They were fundraiser pieces for the 3rd Reich during the existence of the SA.

Interesting and very scarce in nice condition.

Sorry, David, this is a ten-year-old necro-bumped thread. Worldnumis hasn't been on the forum since 2018.
