Whoo hoo! A contest from GO I can enter!   I can probably get a better pic (or you can try Perth Mint), but this shoud give you the general idea. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

a swastika used to be predominantly considered as a good luck symbol hence it's right on top of a 4 leaf clover. Hitler took it as his party symbol and the rest is history. The designer of the medal, Adam Pietz, was German but later moved to the US where he designed this and other So Called Dollars

I think that's some kind of "lucky coin", maybe from U.S. It cannot be Third reich coin because of year "1917" and texts should be wrote in German then.Swastika is very old symbol for lucky.
