maudry Pillar of the Community Luxembourg 588 Posts	Posted 12/21/2010 4:41 pm Hello, Can anyone provide information what this token may have been used for? The spelling of Werth is old German and it should mean something like Value-Token. Size is 26 mm and weight is 3.95 grams. Report this Post to the Staff

chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 12/25/2010 12:52 pm As you write, the spelling "Werth" (with the H) is fairly old. In official German usage it was done away with in 1902, so it is likely that your token is older than that. However, there was and is no law that would mandate how a word is spelled on a privately issued token ... No idea where yours is from. But I assume that "WF" is the initials of somebody. Here is basically the same type, but instead of just two characters it has a name: "E. Müller" (or maybe "F. Muller"; hard to read): http://www.ma-shops.de/krogoll/item...4363&lang=en Christian Report this Post to the Staff

The one you have found is issued from a different die - top of five on obverse points to letter T while it points to letter are on this one. Report this Post to the Staff
