stu62 Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 German East African coins are great. They are also getting harder to find.The postcard is awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeggy Posted December 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Although it was available at its release date, the 2 Rupien coin is not present on the postcard. The following type is missing on the postcard, because it was introduced a couple of years later: 5 Heller 1909 (years: 1908/1909) This copper (Cu950/Sn40/Zn10) coin is 37mm in diameter, weight: 20g It's the biggest German copper alloy coin.
