Hi,
I'd appreciate any help in identifying the following:
This is probably a post-WWII token that I can't find in the catalog. It's perhaps exonumia rather than a coin, but I list it here because it specifies a value (50 groschen--half a schilling?), though it has no date. It’s lightweight (1.76g), I assume aluminum. I haven't measured carefully, but included a penny for size comparison. The reverse reads “arge innstufe Simbach Braunau”. Simbach and Braunau are towns opposite one another across the river Inn—odd because the former is in Germany, the latter in Austria, but maybe the borders were different or unclear in the postwar era or perhaps I have the wrong time period—could have been earlier. My dad spent a summer in Braunau in or around 1950, so I’m pretty sure of the provenance and doubt it would be later.
Thanks in advance for any insights.
