**Another neat wartime coin issue. And a nicely designed coin at only 17mm diameter. Heron was lucky and recently acquired a small batch of wartime German coin & token issues. And onward the search continues. Never know what can be found out there in cyberspace. This is a great hobby for a lifetime!**.
