Your coin has the same typeface as the german coins.
Because a shortage of change money (coins) in the colonies (german south-west Africa), the companies of the 'third reich' were allowed to make their own 'notgeld' and 'werth marke'.
To be shure, you can send the pictures to Andreas Fenzl (who coins can be found on MA-shops) : afenzel@gmx.de

thank you, friends,

I looked throuhj Ma-Shops and Vcoins as well, but there  is no   token like this.  No doubts  about German origins, but  Im afraid to buy it as  Deutsch  Suid-West Afrika, and it become  Stuttgardt beer token or something like this :)

I will send now email to   that address, thank you PetrusAscanus
Dato,
Nothing indicates that this notgeld was issued for use in German SWA. German tokens from today's Namibia are scarce and quite expensive (in the range of $150-400). I would advise to refrain from paying anything more than $2 for this one.
Try finding tokens with SWA geographic or businesses' names on it, so that you could be sure.
