Comment
Menzel reference number is 2951.9.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 30 Pfennigs - Wilhelm II ND (1914) from Kiau Chau (China) made of Brass is that it was issued during the German colonial period in China, specifically during the reign of Emperor Wilhelm II. The coin was used as a token for the German colonists and soldiers stationed in Kiau Chau, a region in northern China that was leased to Germany by the Chinese government. The coin's design features the image of Wilhelm II on one side and the value of 30 pfennigs on the other. It is a rare and valuable collector's item today, with some mint-condition coins selling for thousands of dollars.
