Sap Moderator Australia 16809 Posts	Posted 07/13/2021 8:37 pm Above the hole, I think I can see remnants of the second letter, which is taller than a lowercase "o". Perhaps an "f", which would make it a "Pfund", whcih would be the German weight. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
vince1977 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 847 Posts	Posted 07/14/2021 12:20 pm You could be right indeed. The weight is 2,79 gram and the diameter ca 27mm Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16809 Posts	Posted 07/15/2021 7:42 pm Good point; I'm seeing a lot of similar (but not identical) tokens in a Google search for "pfand token". "Pfand" means "deposit". Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

I did not find an exact match but this is probably correct. Was there a particulary reason to put a hole into it. You don't see that many in german tokens. Report this Post to the Staff
