quimpler Valued Member Canada 64 Posts	Posted 11/15/2015 01:03 am A friend emailed me these pictures of a coin and wanted some info. From what I can tell it's probably a commemorative issue of an old german coin, probably issued in the 80's, and probably silver plated. I found a few pics on the net of similar 2 mark and 5 mark coins but couldn't find any with the 50 mark denomination like this one. Any insight would be appreciated. Sorry for the bad pics he doesn't know how to take photos of coins very well! Report this Post to the Staff

Your coin is a fantasy issue and thus, was never issued by any monetary issuing authority. It's most likely very large, 40mm in diameter, considering the high denomination.

quimpler Valued Member Canada 64 Posts	Posted 11/15/2015 10:07 pm I found similar ones on ebay that are reproductions of the 2 and 5 mark coins, some that are gold plated, or claim to be. And they are large 30mm coins, 4mm thick... The one did say it was issued in the 80's... so if Germany didn't make these, who did I wonder? Report this Post to the Staff
