to the forrum!

This is actually not a coin, it is a medallion. It is from 1923, but has no date on it. Here is one that I found online with pics and a description http://www.rarecoincollector.net/in...ucts_id=6200. Check and see if the one that you have has the same diameter (44.5 mm) and weight (31.1 grams). It could be a replica, since there are a lot of fakes out there. Hope this helps.

Yes generally anything modern without a denomination on it is not a coin but a medal or a token, there are some exceptions though such as various british commemrative crowns.

Hi,
this is an authentic Notgeld/Medall from the Westfalen Series 1923. This token is quite rare compare to other tokens from the same series.
The token/medal looks genuine if I compare it with other genuine (same) tokens/medals

With a mintage of 9985 it has the 3rd lowest mintage of the series.

And the whole series consists of 20* coins (I say coins because all of them have a denomination - from "50 pf." to "1 Billion Mk.") plus this medal.

* more if varieties are included.
