I have, as in the picture, these coins with letters next to the coin value, instead of nothing or 1 or 2 stars. I'm not able to find them on Krause and I found the coins documented only on this site: http://en.numista.com but w/o any indication about their value, only the Specimen classification. does somebody has more information ?

augsburger Pillar of the Community Germany 1062 Posts	Posted 08/31/2015 10:35 pm I bought some of these from a Chinese site. They seemed relatively new to me, not the age you'd expect, certainly not circulated. I wondered if the Chinese fake them, there's no one to stop them doing this and no one can really confirm whether they're real or not anyway. They didn't go for much money. Maybe I spent like US$5 for a whole load of coins, including those. They're not worth much anyway. Report this Post to the Staff

Value wise - they are still very common especially in China. You can only assume these were issued for tourists to raise money for the country.
