Afternoon everyone......

In just two more days, everyone will be waiting for the fat guy in a red suit to bring gifts of joy......

But until then, we still have #worldcoinwednesday.

This is a very interesting coin in my opinion. One because it predates World War One. Two because it’s considered a German coin, but predates it’s existence.

The coin is a 1905 Prussian Zwei Mark and it’s in pretty stellar condition.

Here are the specs:
