KSK1989 Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Hello to all coin fans out there. I was hoping someone could shed some light on the origin of this unusual specimen. It seems to be a Russian token of some sort, minted during Nicholas II era. Interesting 3 Marks denomination - may be issued for Finland? It was sold on eBay for about $80 a year ago. I lost the bidding war, but saved the photo. I would appreciate if you can let me know what it is. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCO Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 This one (3 Marks) was not even listed by A.V. Tunkel (А.В.Тункель). There is a picture of similar to it 5 Marks, no information on who and when issued it. These tokens (metallic bonds) were usually issued as surrogate money to pay for goods. I would be glad to hear if someone knows more about this particular token. WCO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
