Dear Numista members, I invite you a little game which requires only your imagination. I bought this German notgeld coin a few days ago, but I can't decide, what is she doing? I tried to search, but I only found "woman working". Thanks for your help :)

on which there is lettering all round it.
Not sure if the eagle is holding it up, or is just in front.

No doubt you have seen the page on here ...

​Sure
Then, strangely it reminds me a bit of the design of the 50 pfennig ...
The symbol of reborn after WW2.

:wiz: Found it - this 2017 page (link below) commemorates the 100 years
since 1917 and near the end of the page has shiny examples, with >

'The 10 Pfennig coin shows the “selfless” sacrifice of the golden chain of
office of the Mayor of Bielefeld for the financing of war'.

So the Mayor, for the war effort, sold his gold chain.

Either the Mayor was a woman or that is the world's first drag queen mayor.

Maybe he/she bought the chain back after starring in Anders van Anderen - the first ever movie about gays and Transexuals from 1919? :O

People its a joke - don't get offended - I am in the Rainbow community myself.
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.
