Hello All,

I found this coin, can you help me identify him because on the internet I found nothing.

On the back of the coin writes :

BESSERN FINOST DU NICHT and separate word GESCNUTZT.

Thanks in advance

I can't help with the identification itself, but is it possible the lettering says "Bessern Findest Du Nicht" rather than "Bessern Finoest Du Nicht" and "Geschutzt" rather than "Gescnutzt"?
In German:
"Bessern Findest Du Nicht" means that you won't find a better one, a phrase which is often used for a spouse or a fallen comrade etc. "Geschutzt" means protected, shielded, or guarded from.

have't found any reliable source for this
but I have found a similiar piece for sale saying this is a medaille
and I believe the full incription should be "ich hab einen kameraden einen Bessern Findst Du Nicht"

Unknown-Coin


the inscription is part of a german song of the armed forces so it has a background
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ich_h...en_Kameraden


but I have notting on who made it and when it was struck
atleast you have a lead ;)
