It is brass and has the same size as the 19th century 3 Kreuzer coins from Austria and the german states. From the look of it it appears to be 19th century as well. I found no hits in numista. If anyone can tie this to a more specific place or purpose I would be grateful. A good guess would be a token for 3 Kreuzer issued by a person or organization named Friedrich Fuhr.

There is not indication of city or town but the name of the issuer is Friedrich Fuhr. Report this Post to the Staff

After work, if the mystery remains, I'll look some more. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff

So far no luck. I hope this helps at least a little bit! :) Report this Post to the Staff
