Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 02/17/2020 7:56 pm I've not seen this particular (emergency) token before but there are similar ones from Austria, probably World War I. I saw some Austrian WWI (emergency) tokens for sale recently - priced at $4 to $8 each. Report this Post to the Staff
Eligius Valued Member Netherlands 175 Posts	Posted 05/31/2020 07:24 am A similar token but with the full first name: Xaver and with a value of 1 Kreuzer is listed in the 2018 Catalog of German language tokens by Menzel as number 45097.1. The place of issue is not given. The denomination Kreuzer was not used only in Austria but also in the south of Germany (pre 1875). Report this Post to the Staff
Dman95 Valued Member United States 74 Posts	Posted 05/31/2020 08:08 am Thanks for your help. I was thinking it could be Xaver and pretty old since the denomination is so small. Does the book give any more information about the token? I am looking for the country of origin and approximate range of years it is from. Report this Post to the Staff
Eligius Valued Member Netherlands 175 Posts	Posted 06/01/2020 04:45 am 3 Kreuzer is not really a small amount. It is good for a bread or a beer. The latter is likely regarding the issuer. Date of issue is probably 1840 -1870 and the country of origin is one of the South German states like Württemberg or Baden or Austria. Information about date and origin is lacking in the Menzel Catalog. Report this Post to the Staff
