They look to be a set, and would be around 10 grams just looking at them. Can anyone tell me what they are, possible value or book number or anything? Thanks for any help Report this Post to the Staff

I will have a look in the world book of coins again paying more attention to Germany. I forgot to mention that they look to be Proof quality also. Report this Post to the Staff

Sadly, they don't seem to have troubled the compilers of Unusual World Coins 4th edition. Maybe they're in a later edition. Report this Post to the Staff

Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 07/15/2014 11:55 am these 'medals' were made to announce the euro in Europe. Every German state has these made. And a lot of european countries also did. http://www.catawiki.nl/search?q=eur...ommit=Zoeken http://www.ma-shops.de/knopek/item....&ref=froogde http://www.ma-shops.de/lecoins/item...&ref=froogde http://www.filatelialopez.com/moned...179_183.html Report this Post to the Staff
