General Tso Valued Member United States 341 Posts	Posted 05/20/2009 1:06 pm I haven't had any luck finding this coin in my guides. Maybe this is some sort of token? The "mint mark?" is an A above the number 200. As you can see by my pictures I'll need to do some reading in the photography forum. Edited by Sap 05/28/2009 06:16 am Report this Post to the Staff

It is around the time of Notgeld, or emergency money, so it might be 200 marks and used instead of real money which was changing all the time. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 05/20/2009 9:04 pm I think this was a token used on that train line. If it were used as money it would be marked either Pfennig or Mark. There isn't much information in English about Notgeld era pieces but it is collectible and does have some small value. Report this Post to the Staff
Buzzard Valued Member United States 156 Posts	Posted 05/20/2009 10:28 pm The Nuremberg-Furth train line opened in 1835 as the world's first regularly-scheduled passenger route. The original steam engine is depicted on your token. Report this Post to the Staff
chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 05/22/2009 06:35 am The text on the picture side, below the train scene, is somewhat difficult to read but can be deciphered as ... DEUTSCHLANDS 1. EISENBAHN 7.12.1835 (Germany's First Railway, 7 December 1835) By the way, the Ludwigsbahn was closed in late October 1922. Today the connection is served by a subway line.
