kensho52 Valued Member United States 83 Posts	Posted 09/11/2011 10:33 am I believe it is a German game token from an amusement arcade. I'm sure someone here can say when and where it was made. Report this Post to the Staff
fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 09/11/2011 10:37 am Yes, it is. German pfennig. I have a couple spiel markes from the U.K. I believe spielmark is German for "play money". Edited by fioti 09/11/2011 10:40 am Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/12/2011 1:46 pm Interesting that it says "Rechen...Pfennig", when it should say Rechnen Pfennig, ie "counting penny" Since the pictured eagle is closest to the Austro-Hungarian empire's, I would not be surprised if this game piece came from Austria or their old territories--which once included Serbia. That might explain the misspelling, if German wasn't the primary language. I'm guessing it dates before 1918. Report this Post to the Staff
