Grimmelshausen (Coin NOT for sale)

[b-17blinker]

I found this coin on ebay, it was interesting, the price was right, and now it's in my collection. I purchased it from a seller from Lohne, Germany.
It is a 1976 D German 5 Mark silver coin (KM #144) commemorating the 300th year death of Joham Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen (1622-1676), a German author best known for his 1669 novel Simplicius Simplicissimus.

There IS a town in Thuringia Germany by the name of Grimmelshausen.

Heron checked his list of 'haves' & did not find that town listed.  Heron

has added the town of Grimmelshausen to his 'want list' and will search

the woild over in an attempt to find a Grimmelshausen coin or token. 

(This could be a fun 'search' to find a Grimmelshausen coin or token.)

Nice 'find'!   Congrats!   

And it is GOOD to have that disclaimer in the post.  Never know when

some casual observer might get confused.
