On the surface this doesn't look like much, an obscure and obsolete denomination from a long vanished government. But using a palm oil-driven engine this coin was produced by the last standing German colonial army to help pay for its fight. This force of the last Kaiser--you can see his crown--led the English on a merry chase around eastern and southern Africa, not surrendering until Germany did. With over a million minted this siege coin is an inexpensive token of a brave but ultimately doomed resistance during what used to be known as "The Great War."
