Hi,
Can anyone help identifying the following coin/token?
It has a 2-mark denomination, but no date and no country...
Thanks,

I've got this one:

It's obviously in the same family. I wonder which brand of game makers they are from. Mine is in my possession for appr. 30 years - they must be pretty old.

Thanks.
Indeed your one is similar, although mine specifies "2 Mark" and not only 2.
I have no idea where it came from. I got it from a friend that passed away :(, so there is nobody to ask.
I tried to search it on the Web but found nothing.

just to close the story - two and a half years ago I asked the forum about this coin, and promised to update when I'll solve it.
As several collectors assumed, it's a 2 Mark game token, (Spielgeld) of the Weimar Republic, from 1930.
