I found this coin on ebay (http://www.ebay.ca/itm/1865-B-Germany-Lippe-1-Thaler-Taler-Silver-Prooflike-BU-PCGS-MS-65-Proof-/141170296782?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item20de67c7ce&_uhb=1) but I really have no idea if it's original or just a restrike coin, because the price is just so low.
Punished by forced labor. All the french colonial notes did the same, and in France it was "reclusion criminelle a perpetuite", confinement. In a Algeria 5 frs., it says "...Punit par des travaux-forces a perpetuite".
I can't scan the notes, but I did get a nice collection of banknotes, of France and French colonies. The nice ones were 1 Piastre Indochina, 500 Riels Cambodia, 5 Frs. Algeria 1941, and a 100 Francs of France of 1937.
I have an Ecuador 5 sucres, 1944 which was made into a spoon. The coin is curved and the creator added a decorated spoon handle with the design of a dog and a person on the top.
Sorry, can't put pictures, but I have a few nice old notes.

Hello. The Katanga is very interesting. It was a country in the south of Congo (Zaire) that only was independent for +/- 2 years. It is like Biafra in Nigeria, interesting to have.
