Germanic zinc merchant token [solved]

8 posts • viewed 97 times
Does anyone have any idea what this token is and what it’s worth? It seems to be some kind of merchant token as it has the name “M Wallace” on it and “kommanditgesellschaft” the other side has “pro sit” and the date 1947. It’s made of zinc

What? Me Worry
It was a drugstore from Vienna (Austria) with multiple stores in the city.
prosit is a Geman way to say either "Bless you" when you sneeze or "Cheers" before drinking (a beer).

Kommanditgesellschaft in German on wikipedia:

​Brilliant, thanks. Any idea what it's worth or a catalogue that tracks these type of tokens?

Hi

Its probably a happy new year token (PROSIT... NEU JAHR). Probably Austrian.

​Thanks, that looks likely, it has the same reverse as this other one from 1947 from the list you provided

I think those were giveaways for promotion, so there won't be a high value at all, maybe 1 $/€ per piece.
