    1932 NSDAP Coin


    Recommended Posts

    Apologies if this is the wrong area for such things, please delete if so.

    This coin came in with a buch of tinnies I picked up. It appears to be a fund raising coin for the party coffers.

    Anyone know anything about it?

    Cheers

    Hallo Gentlemen, :beer:

    I took the liberty of highlighting the picture to see the detail more clearly.

    Listed in the book;

    A COLLECTORS GUIDE TO:

    GERMAN WORLD WAR 2 MEDALS & POLITICAL AWARDS

    THE SATELLITE STATES.

    By Christopher Ailsby.

    Page 110 Rarity: Extremely rare!!

    Gordon,

    Here's a rough description about the medal based on Chris's & David Littlejohns books:

    It's a NSB Commemorative medallion, instituted in the autumn of 1940 by Anton Mussert for all those who had been interned in May 1940 by the Dutch authorities for political activities.

    You may notice the roses, thorns & broken chains on the obverse. The thorns were meant to represent suffering, the roses the chastening effect of that suffering & the broken chains liberation. The writing around the top of the obverse translates as "Fateful union 10-14 May 1940".

    The wording around the edge of the reverse says "Dutchmen & Germans allied for the future". Across the centre "By destiny drawn together, united in danger"

    A hard piece to find & I'm extremely happy to have done so.

    Colourwise, it's closer to my scan as it's a very dark bronze with a green hued finish added to it.

    Cheers

    Don
