Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 09/13/2013 06:42 am Here's another from the mystery tray. 31mm in bronze with a gilt proof-like field. The eagle looks like the one on German 2 mark coins from 1957 to 1971. Report this Post to the Staff

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 09/13/2013 8:28 pm The obverse (or, a least, the first pic) is indeed the German federal eagle (Bundesadler). The reverse is coat of arms of the Netherlands (blazon: Azure, billetty Or a lion with a coronet Or armed and langued Gules holding in his dexter paw a sword Argent hilted Or and in the sinister paw seven arrows Argent pointed and bound together Or), specifically after 1907, when the lion's royal crown was replaced with an open coronet. So, a German/Dutch friendship token? Edited by philadelphian 09/13/2013 8:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 09/15/2013 07:06 am That seems unlikely to me, for a friendship token I'd expect some words expressing the friendship. I had wondered if it was a medsllion from a mint that had struck a proof or specimen set. The Royal Mint's set medallion carries no words. However, I don't have any Belgian, Dutch or German sets.
