chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 06/06/2012 02:03 am Austria is right; the HMA refers to the Vienna mint which (until 1989) was called HauptmÃ¼nzamt. This piece is probably from the late 1940s/early 50s. Don't know about the name or the initials below the pig. But that church does look like St. Stephen's Cathedral (Stephansdom) in Vienna ...

I bought a bag of old coins from a bunch of different places and I found this coin in it. since its been so long since you posted this I thought maybe you might know more. one thing that I noticed is that you said it says "hoimann" on the coin, but I believe it says "hofmann" on it. if anyone could put a date or value on this token then it would be a big help.
