I know this is 'Coin identifications and valuations' but can anyone still help me? I have the token below (same design on both sides) but I cannot read the initial letter of two of the words.
There are three words on two ribbons. The second ribbon has one word which at first looked like Festwict but seems to be Festwirt so I need the two words on the first ribbon deciphering please.
Looks like Seiner Huss to me, but if so what does Seiner Huss Festwirt mean? Thanks
That is a token for 1 Kiss probably from the Bavarian Wiesen beer fest. It's in Gothic German and I read it as Feiner Kuss. So in the time the token was worth 1 fine kiss .

Gosh - that sounds about right to me. Which is also what the little picture above the lettering looks like; a lady on the left and a man on the right, so I think you are right. Thanks !
EDIT: It's obvious now, and here's a close-up ...
Citeer: EdgarfiveThat's pretty cool!!! I love that token.
I agree - I was going to sell it, but now I know what it is I will keep it.
I do not know if you would want to and I do not know if this is appropriate, but would you want to trade the German kissing token.

It is appropriate to ask, but I am not currently wanting to trade it - but if I do then I will contact you (on the page below that I created, I added in 'Personal comment' Reserved*Edgarfive so that I remember). As I said earlier now I know what it is, I kind of like what it was made for - if only they had that kind of thing in U.K. - and yes I am single! Thanks :)
P.S. I got it among a mixed lot of coins (so not by itself) a few years ago and I guess whoever sold it did not know what it was either. I will also enter it on here in Tokens - Germany section ... https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces43656.html
Finally, from that page I searched Kiss Token and there were 26 active listings ... http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313&_nkw=Kiss+Token&_sacat=0&_from=R40
which also showed tokens for a hug, or some passion, or some love, or Kiss the pop group, and so on. There is even one that reads 'love me kiss me hug me I'm Italian 1992' whatever that was about!
