Since it's value is in Pfennig it's either pre-1923, or post-1948.
Well, it is not a coin but a token, so they may well have used the term "Pfennig" while the official term was "Reichspfennig". No idea how old these are, but this book abstract
http://www.buchhandel.de/detailansi...-934128-26-2 says: "Eine Besonderheit bilden die "Münzen" der Heil- und Pflegeanstalt Lohr, mit denen die Patienten bis ca. 1980 in festgelegten Lohrer Geschäften Einkäufe vornehmen konnten." So the patients in that hospital could, until about 1980, use those tokens for purchases at certain stores in Lohr. Today the hospital is named "Bezirkskrankenhaus für Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie"
http://www.bezirk-unterfranken.de/a...93,2744.htmlTrivia of the Day - Does anybody know the book "Mr. Monk goes to Germany"? In that novel, the famous detective travels to Lohr (because his psychiatrist attends a conference there). Of course Monk cannot stay at the conference hotel hotel, the Franziskushöhe, because it used to be a sanatorium for people with lung diseases. (Which is actually true.) Might have been an even better story if this psychiatric hospital had been turned into a hotel.
