Comments
(en)
This coin was issued during the First World War by the German military administration of the East, Ober Ost, which comprised the former Russian governorates of Courland, Grodno, Vilna, Kovno and Suwałki, corresponding to parts of modern-day Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Belarus.
Schön WM lists this coin under Litauen (Lithuania).
Because there exist large number of these "Occupation coins", fake and replica, here are photos of how a fake coin looks.
A common feature of fakes is examples being in incredibly high grades, and most all of them have awkward edges. Other common discrepancies are pictured below
