From my OFEC collection (300), Danzig... The Free City of Danzig (German: Freie Stadt Danzig; Polish: Wolne Miasto Gda#324;sk) was a city-state under the protection of the League of Nations between 1920 and 1939, consisting of the Baltic Sea port of Danzig (now Gda#324;sk, Poland) and nearly 200 other small localities in the surrounding areas.

The VERY FIRST coin I collected - from my parent's "penny jar" back in the '60s. They had no idea how it got there. As you can see, I still have it after all these years. 1923 France Chambres de Commerce Bon Pour 50 centimes
