Alpha2814 Pillar of the Community United States 2023 Posts	Posted 12/20/2018 2:46 pm Looks like it's from this series: https://www.catawiki.com/catalog/to...-werth-marke ...and the "GW" would be a counterstrike. Edit to add: Some discussion on them here: http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum/in...opic=10794.0 Edited by Alpha2814 12/20/2018 2:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
silverore New Member Canada 29 Posts	Posted 12/20/2018 3:18 pm But nothing about a 2 Werth Marke. Edited by silverore 12/20/2018 3:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Alpha2814 Pillar of the Community United States 2023 Posts	Posted 12/20/2018 3:32 pm Not about the 2 specifically, but there's a fair amount of information about the series in the discussion thread I linked to, including the line "They come in a variety of denominations from 1 to 500" -- that's in an image taken from a book (German Tokens, Part II, Colonial issues Austria, Luxembourg, Switzerland and other areas by Jerry Schimmel, 1988). I don't know what more you want, except maybe to know what "GW" comes from, and that same image suggests it would indicate the name of a business. Report this Post to the Staff

silverore New Member Canada 29 Posts	Posted 12/20/2018 8:49 pm Sure thing. It just has a number 2 on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 12/20/2018 9:03 pm Ok yes thanks for the follow-up pic. It is good to be able to have everything all in one place for some future time when we are searching for this token again. The only thing that I would add is that these pieces are sometimes known as "consumption tokens", perhaps due to their use as money in hospitals and spas dedicated to the treatment of tuberculosis?
