Short German hunt with a strange coin or medallion

[sarasotadigger84]

Went to the field today for a hour. Found these coins and a strange coin or medallion. 1974 1 mark coin, a 1933 reichpfenning and then this medallion that has what looks to be a king holding a chalice on one side and then the other shows a 12 in the middle and the words Frankfurt's brauebeien which means breweries in German. Any help is appreciated. Thanks for looking. I

Good finds. I googled German beer tokens and saw pics that look a lot like your find.

Wow 1875 cool!! I wonder what this token is worth to collectors?

Thats cool, a beer token would be on my wish list, too.

As for Value, errhh many things you find in Europe can be extremly cool but are not worth much.

The token in prime condition goes for EUR 10 here:

The 1/2 denomination is btw. almost certainly half a litre not half a kreuzer.

I think that token entitles you to free beer for the rest of your life at any of a dozen breweries around Germany - you have hit the lottery my friend !

I bet a beer it will work for you. At least at a brewery with own bar.
