Germany in the 1920s was a chaotic place to be, with the fall of the empire, economic collapse and the hyperinflation of 1923. We can now off er you a set of 4 coins from this period. The copper 1 Pfennig (1924-36) and aluminium 50 Pfennig (1919-1922) have wheat sheaves to represent regrowth and constancy. The other two are 5 and 10 Rentenpfennigs. The Rentenpfennig was a temporary monetary unit issued between 1923 and 1925 to stabilize the currency after the hyperinflation of 1923. Both these circulated coins were struck in aluminium bronze with wheat ears in a pyramid form.
The Honour Cross of the World War 1914-1918, commonly referred to as the Hindenburg Cross or the German WWI Service Cross, was established by Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, President of the German Weimar Republic, in 1934, to commemorate service of the German people during the First World War. This was Germany's fi rst official service medal for soldiers of Imperial Germany who had taken part in the war, and where they had since died it was also awarded to their surviving next-of-kin. The bronze medal for combatants is in the form of a Maltese cross with a laurel wreath with the dates "1914 1918”, along with crossed swords between the arms. The reverse side is plain, except for the manufacturer's marks. The cross was worn suspended from a ribbon with black, white and red stripes.
The Gros Tournois was a French medieval silver coin first issued in 1266 which quickly became a popular and widely used coin which was minted right up until the 16th century when it was replaced by the Teston. The Gros Tournois was originally conceived by Louis IX (Saint Louis) on his return from the Seventh Crusade (1248-1254) and its aim was to supplant the deniers and obols in use since the Carolingian reform and to create a stronger currency for trade and to unify all feudal entities. These early examples of the Gros Tournois were issued by Philip IV ‘The Fair’ (1285-1314), the grandson of Louis IX. The obverse features a cross surrounded by the kings name PHILIPPVS REX. On the outer rim, a Latin inscription reads BNDICTV:SIT:NOME:DNI: NRI:DEI:IHV:XPI”, meaning “blessed be the name of our Lord Jesus Christ”. The reverse features a stylised image of the Tournois Castle with the mint name around the inner circle CIVIS TVRONVS. Very limited availability and a great opportunity to purchase one of the classic medieval silver coins at a reasonable price. The coins grade Very Fine or slightly better.
Louis I ‘the great’ was king of Hungary, Croatia and Poland between 1342-1382 and this issue was one of the last he issued between 1373 and 1382.

On the reverse is a double cross with the legend REGIS HUNGARIE – King of Hungary. These coins grade Good Very Fine
