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
Non est totum quod splendet ut aurum
Rijkdom bestaat niet uit het hebben van veel bezittingen, maar in het hebben van weinig behoeften
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.
Here is my German SWA token from a Swakopmund Hotel
I collect coins and tokens which circulated in Africa from 18th century to 2000. I sell about 7000 illustrated world coins from http://www.avscoins.com.
