Hi team I'm new to this so apologies if I've posted this in the wrong place. I have 12 Balmerges tokens (various denominations) and would like to learn a little more about them and if they have any value.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

@spiderwebb, first welcome to CCF. Second, that tiny pic is going to make it pretty hard for us to help you. In a quick interwebs search, I'm not seeing much about the word "Balmerge". Perhaps you can give us a little more context? Maybe it is a Kiwi thing?

Definitely no a "Kiwi" thing. From what I've found on the www is Balmerge's was a German department store and these tokens (play money) were used in games for children around 1900. Typically they were made to look like the local currency only smaller and pressed not minted.
