Fake 50 Deutschmark 1878 Pendant

[Dave Rishar]

So I guess the question is not what it is (it's a fake), but the question is how it came to be. I can't find hardly anything on these on the internet.

Anybody know the story behind these?

I love this 'Coin'. It is, as you say a fake but I think it's quite a good attempt. Only problem is Wilhelm was not at the helm as it were in 1878! I think they were produced as a bit of Teutonic humour, we all know what a laugh these Germans can be!! Here is a site describing these 'coins'. It's in German but Google translates it quite well.

Hope this helps. PS I'm not anti-German or anything like that. It's an ex-wife thing!!!

Its common to make fantasy coin type jewelry. On the face of it, it looks fine, but enough differences so it can't be used or sold as a real one.
