Nazi Hitler token in my bulk lot

Found this aluminum thing in my bulk lot - anyone knows is it  old one, or just some new fantasy token. Is it worth anything?



The only link what I could find:

P.S. I reached 4000+ coins in my swap-list today and it is not even half of my coins.

Best I can tell is that it was a campaign token from pre-WWII.  Just a guess from the "NSDAP" on the reverse.  Looks like it stands for Nationalsozialistische-Deutsche-Arbeiter-Partei.  Basically, the Nazi Party.
Can't find any references to this particular token though.

Hitler was never depicted on a "legal" circulation coin.

Nationalsozialistische-Deutsche-Arbeiter-Partei

German National Socialist Labor Party.

Yep, the nazis

Yes I know about it, he liked to be on stamps.

Citeer: muralis.. he liked to be on stamps.

I guess he preferred to have people licking his back rather than dropping him down the back of a couch or into a gutter.

I go completely with glorkar. I think these tokens were given to people who made donations. "Kampfspende" would translate into something like "Donation for the battle". As for the rest of the lettering:

"Deutschland erwache" = Germany wake up (popular Nazi slogan)
"Hitlerbew(egung)" = Hitler movement (Nazi organization)
"Ein Baustein" = One brick/building block
"Gau M.Ü." = District (don't know what M.Ü. stands for)

It looks authentic to me. Notice the young and fresh portrait of Hitler, which corroborates the positioning of this token well before 1939.

Arnov, thanks for your comment, good explanation and translation. Very useful information, thank you all.

Want to sell it???

Yes the m.ü is a big question mark. the shortcut doesnt fit into a district.

maybe from 1933-1938 they had other plans for the districts. dunno

What about that MU is NO, for Nieder Osterreich?

Sharply observed: I misread the letters. Indeed it says N.Ö. Compare the N with the N from NSDAP.

My mistake! Thank God they didn't win the war. Otherwise we'd be using these terrible letters all over the continent  

I can't find Nieder-Österreich in münzenhamster's referenced list, though.

Wien was capital of Nieder Oesterreich previously, according to Wikipedia. Wien is in the list.

Would this allow us to date and locate the token more precisely: Vienna area after the Anschluss of Austria (March 1938)?

No - they wanted to get rid of the fraktur letters somewhere in 1941 but because of war shortcut of resources they couldn't exchange the typingmachines anymore. The main  reason for the switch was as it seems the people from the occupied states could read the posters

If M.Ü is actually read as N.Ö its wrong. There never was a Gau called Niederösterreich. It would have been Niederdonau which is also on my list.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichsgau_Niederdonau
And after comparing the fraktur letters with the letters on the coin I think its an m and  ö. But that shortcut doesn't fit into any gau name.
Also not N.Ü ,M.Ü or N.Ö.

Furthermore from Wikipedia:
In der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus 1938 bis 1945 musste jeder Bezug zum österreichischen Namen verschwinden, das Land hieß gemäß dem Ostmarkgesetz vom 14. April 1939 Niederdonau. Wien blieb zwar der Verwaltungssitz, Krems wurde aber zur „Gauhauptstadt“ erhoben. Von Mai 1938 bis zum Ende des Krieges war Hugo Jury Gauleiter des Gaues Niederdonau. Durch die Bildung von Groß-Wien im Herbst 1938 verlor Niederösterreich die Wiener Umlandgemeinden, die die wirtschaftlich stärksten Gebiete waren. Das nach dem (der Tschechoslowakei aufgezwungenen) Münchner Abkommen am 1. Oktober 1938 vom Deutschen Reich annektierte Südmähren gehörte vom 15. April 1939[6] bis zum Mai 1945 zum Gau Niederdonau. Hitler ließ das Burgenland auflösen; die Städte Eisenstadt und Rust und die Bezirke Eisenstadt, Mattersburg, Neusiedl am See und Oberpullendorf wurden per 15. Oktober 1938 ebenfalls dem Gau Niederdonau zugeschlagen und verblieben dort bis Herbst 1945.[7]

Basically it says, the name Österreich was deleted and must not be used. This explanation fits also in the renaming into "ostmark" for austria/österreich. So Ö definitely cant stand for Austria.

I say it's 90% a fake.

Oh, thanks for info, . My inner voice says to keep it just in case : )

What about M.O(umlaut).?
