Thought I found a nazi coin!

Went back to the pin field yesterday and found lots more! Gonna have to comb this place dry! When I pulled that giant coin and revealed the swastika my heart skipped a beat… turns out it was a philosophy club in the early 1900s that was co-opted by various companies and used on advertisement tokens. Found an even cooler Masonic consistory medal. Thanks for looking!

Congrats on the great finds !

The Swastika was used by many cultures and religions before WW2.
Even the Boy Scouts had them on their Tokens as a good luck symbol.

I guess I’ve always assumed they used the existing German money.
Did they make nazi money?

The AASR fob is very neat! Scottish Rite 2-headed eagle. This was probably quite a large gathering. Membership would have been strong back in 1922.

Those are some awesome finds! The Masonic FOB is super cool!

Yes, the German issued money during the Nazi’s reign contained the iconography of the Nazis.

Regarding the Masonic item and to enlarge Blackfoot's response above, There are many organisations and orders which form part of the widespread fraternity of Freemasonry, each having its own structure and terminology. Collectively these may be referred to as Masonic 'bodies' and other names. The "AASR" on your key fob stands for Ancient Accepted Scottish Rites.

Another key fogb has the letters: SPES MIA IN DEO EST which is traslated to MY HOPE IN GOD. Within the small triagle at the top of the eagle is the number '32', designating a 32nd degree Mason.

I don’t remember if I threw this up on here when I found it. Interesting piece from the early 1900s. I would guess 1910-1920. The only one I’ve seen. Anyone ever seen anything like this? It’s one of my favorite finds.

I found one with 'Boy Scouts Of America' on the reverse, by eyeball, when I was 12 years old walking the AZ desert looking for arrowheads. Still have it.
